Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans, Sunday October 27

2024-10-28 08:35:03

Talk about a complete team effort.

Six different players scored touchdowns for the Lions Sunday as all three phases played a critical role in a convincing 52-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans that makes it five straight wins for Detroit (6-1).

Three big special teams returns (two punt, one kickoff), four defensive takeaways and big plays on offense resulted in Detroit’s most impressive win of the season.

The 52 points scored are tied for the second most in franchise history. Over their last four games, the Lions have scored 172 points and 22 touchdowns. This marks the most points and touchdowns the Lions have ever scored in any four-game span in a single season.

Detroit’s defense set up the first points of the game when a great rush by Levi Onwuzurike led to an ill-advised pass from Tennessee quarterback Mason Rudolph right into the hands of linebacker Trevor Nowaske at the Titans’ 31-yard line. Nowaske returned it to the 23-yard line. It took just two plays from there for running back David Montgomery to punch it in from seven yards out to give the Lions a 7-0 lead.

Tennessee came right back and marched 75 yards on just four plays capped off by a Rudolph 11-yard touchdown run, the first rushing touchdown of his career.

On the first play following the Titans touchdown, running back Jahmyr Gibbs went through a huge hole opened by Taylor Decker, Graham Glasgow and Frank Ragnow on the left side of the offensive line and beat everyone down the left sideline for a 70-yard touchdown run. Gibbs is the first Lions player to produce a rushing touchdown of 45-plus yards in consecutive games since Dutch Clark in 1934.
