THIRD DOWN: 3RD & MANAGEABLE
Bevell said the defense talked all week about being good on first and second down to not give Tennessee too many manageable third and short situations. He said that was going to be the key to stopping Tennessee, and unfortunately they weren't able to do it.
The Titans were efficient all day on first and second down, and that led to the Titans facing a 3rd and 5 or more just four times all game long. Tennessee was 9-11 converting on 3rd down.
That opens up the entire playbook and keeps a defense on its heels. Tennessee's early-down success is also a big reason why Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill was so efficient all game, throwing for three touchdowns and running for two more.
FOURTH DOWN: OKWARA MAKING PLAYS
Down 21-7 late in the second quarter and having just lost the ball at the goal line on a D’Andre Swift fumble, the Lions needed a play on defense in a bad way.
Detroit hasn't gotten enough of those plays on defense this year, but when they have gotten one, it's usually been veteran defensive end Romeo Okwara stepping up to the challenge. That was the case Sunday. Okwara hurdled the attempted cut block of Dan Quessenberry and sacked Tannehill for a safety with three minutes and 35 seconds left in second quarter.
The sack was the eighth for Okwara this season, a new career high. It was Detroit's first safety in their last 75 games. The last one was also vs. Tennessee (2016).
