Lions defense recovers early fumble

The NFL is all about opportunity. And the Lions just landed a great one.

Titans quarterback Jake Locker fumbled a snap out of the shotgun, and Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley jumped on it.

It looked like Locker turned his head before he had the ball and wasn’t able to recover.

The Lions will start their second drive from their own 47.
