After the Lions' drive stalled at Tennessee's 39-yard line and coach Jim Caldwell elected to punt on a fourth-and-3, Sam Martin pinned the Titans at 7-yard line.
On the first play of the drive, Titans' DeMarco Murray got loose for a 67-yard run and was chased down by Darius Slay at the Lions' 26.
The Lions' defense stiffened from there, stuffing Derrick Henry for no gain and sacking quarterback Marcus Mariota for a 12-yard loss on a combined effort from Haloti Ngata and Devin Taylor. The sack helped push the Titans out of field goal range, but Tennessee's punt was downed at the Lions' 1.
