FIRST DOWN: PENALTIES
The two plays that directly resulted in the Lions’ 16-15 defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans Sunday included the defense's inability to knock the ball down on the late Andre Johnson touchdown on 4th and 4, and then Matthew Stafford’s interception at midfield as the Lions tried to get into field goal range for the come-from-behind win.
But the 17 Lions penalties for 138 yards are the real reason they dropped to 1-1 on the season.
Detroit had three touchdowns wiped off the board because of penalties.
