Titans' scoring defense a big early surprise
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans' starting field position was awful throughout Sunday’s game in Detroit.
It turned out that the Lions’ ending field position was more significant in Tennessee’s 16-15 win.
Tennessee’s defense held up strong, allowing just one touchdown, on a 24-yard Matthew Stafford-to-Anquan Boldin pass.
Perrish Cox and the Titans' defense have had a lot to be happy about in the season's first two weeks, including their stingy play in the red zone.Earlier in that drive, the Lions had crossed the 20-yard line. They did it two other times, but settled for field goals on each.
