Certainly a great game to watch before sitting down to some turkey. The Titans put it on the Lions from the opening gun and just coasted throughout the second half to a dominating rebound peformance after the loss to the Jets last week.
The Titans really committed to the run this week, and the Lions were unable to stop Smash and Dash, who combined for 231 yards rushing and four TDs this week. Vince Young also made an appearance late in the game and officially threw one pass for 54 yards, a dump pass to Ahmard Hall which broke out downfield. Vince also looked good on a completion to Lavelle Hawkins on the sideline, but it was called back for a penalty.
The Titans get a little extra time to prepare for the Cleveland Browns, and a win I believe would clinch the division. Happy Thanksgiving you guys.
It Was Over When....: Realisitically, about five plays into the game. The Lions turned it over on their second play from scrimmage and two plays later the Titans were in the endzone and sucked all of the air out of the building.
Gameball Goes To: Smash and Dash. The boys White and Johnson had 231 yards and two touchdowns and averaged 5.92 yards per carry.
Stat of the Game: 0%. The Lions' 3rd down conversion percentage on the day. Detroit was 0/11.
Surprise of the Game: Although it's not shocking we dominated the Lions, I'll go with Vince Young seeing limited action. I wouldn't be shocked to see him if we lock up home field advantage but knowing Jeff Fisher, that may not happen.
