It almost seems like yesterday when Detroit led this game 21-19 with nine minutes left in the first half. It just got out of hand in the second half. Detroit trailed 34-24 at halftime and never regained any type of momentum in the final 20 minutes.

The Titans have just Doug Anderson’s field goal on the board in the second half and trail 42-26 with 17:47 left. Coach … Continue Reading →
