DETROIT — The Lions dominated the Tennessee Titans in a 52-14 rout on Sunday at Ford Field. Here are three insights from the victory, marking Detroit’s fifth consecutive win.
The Lions (6-1) are emerging as the most formidable team in the NFC. Their ability to secure victories in various ways is impressive, even in the face of key player losses. Aidan Hutchinson is out with a broken leg, yet they triumphed over the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings the following week. After Jameson Williams’ suspension, they still managed to put up 52 points against the Titans days later. While the Titans were 1-5 and played poorly, winning by over 30 points in the NFL is no small feat. Remarkably, the Lions have accomplished this twice in three weeks, even without Williams on Sunday. Jared Goff passed for just 85 yards, Amon-Ra St. Brown had a mere 7 yards receiving, and David Montgomery managed only 33 yards rushing. Despite this, they were so far ahead that they rested the starters in the fourth quarter for the second time this month.
