Inside Devin Taylor's safety vs. Titans, where interior rush made the play happen

DETROIT -- Devin Taylor lined up on the edge, the same place he typically does every snap he’s in the game. He didn’t have his usual partner at defensive end, Ezekiel Ansah, on the other side of him because Ansah was out with an ankle injury.

But on this play, it didn’t matter. Tennessee was on its own 5-yard line after Sam Martin booted another punt pinning an opponent deep on its own side of the field. And with the Titans a heavy run team to begin with, it seemed like a chance for the Detroit Lions to make a play.
