Tennessee Titans history against the Detroit Lions

“So we’ll prepare like we always do, put the time in the meeting room and in the classroom, walkthroughs and practice and get ourselves ready to go play a game”. Hopefully they will be a little more resilient in their approach if the Lions jump out to an early lead this week. Stafford has thrown 22 TDs and just two INTs in last nine games. That translated to a monster game in which the Lions had their way through the air, including three touchdowns and an effective short passing attack that made whatever the Colts did on offense irrelevant.

The Titans should be able to hold their own when it comes to stopping the run. but Stafford and his group of receivers should be able to take to the skies once again when they face the Titans. How much of the Titans’ weakness against the pass a result of their desire to smother Adrian Peterson? Leave us a comment below or find us on Facebook or Twitter. Typically when a defense is able to make an offense one-dimensional by taking away the run, the defense is able to exert pass pressure as a luxury byproduct.

Penalty fest: The Lions and Titans were on pace for a while there to challenge the National Football League record for most penalties in a single contest.

In 2015, Detroit gave up 12 touchdowns to tight ends, which tied for the most allowed in the NFL. The Titans defense stifles the Lions, holding them to 154 total yards, forcing three turnovers, tallying four sacks and not allowing a third-down conversion all game. “They have some good pass rushers”. That can be attributed to Jones being the big-play target on longer plays.

Not only that, but the Lions actually looked competent in the run game against the Colts last week.

But the Lions were especially hurting at linebacker. Stafford seemed to have an answer for everything the Titans defense tried. Can they turn that around?

It was not the best moment for Cox who has had his struggles at times since joining the Titans a year ago.

The Lions utilize Golden Tate to run back punts (and sometimes kicks too), so he’s a guy to watch for. ▻Lions notes: Marcus Mariota presents different look than vs. Colts Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans preview: On Paper Pride of Detroit – Sep 16, 2016 View all Washington Times PFW Matchup Breakdown: Tennessee Titans vs. Detroit Lions STLtoday – Sep 15, 2016 The Tennessee Titans looked good early last Sunday at home against the Vikings before the wheels came off on offense, with Marcus Mariota****. That said, Tennessee will have an easier task of throwing the ball this week than they did against an elite Vikings defense.

“I’m sure [Titans tight end Delanie Walker] is probably smiling after he looked and watched our film from last week”, said Caldwell, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Judging from their performance in the preseason and last week, I have my doubts. The Lions typically play well against the pass and I expect a better showing overall from the defensive unit.
