Lions beat Seahawks 42-29, Titans beat Dolphins 31-12
Week 4 of the NFL season ended Monday with two games that were case studies in the division between the best and worst teams in the league.
A month into the season, a time in the schedule when teams' true capabilities are revealed, the Lions and Seahawks went back and forth in an offensive showcase in Detroit, suggesting both could be playoff factors.
Detroit's 42-29 win, which ousted Seattle (3-1) from the ranks of the undefeated and improved the Lions to 3-1, followed Tennessee's 31-12 victory in Miami. It was a matchup between two teams looking up in the standings, with both forced to use backup quarterbacks due to injuries to the starters.
The Lions won despite not being perfect. Statistically, however, their quarterback was: Jared Goff completed all 18 of his passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns, didn't turn the ball over and even caught a 7-yard touchdown pass on a trick play thrown by Amon-Ra St. Brown.
According to NFL Research, Goff is the first quarterback in league history to attempt at least ten passes without throwing an incompletion.
And yet it wasn't nearly enough to stop the Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith's 38-for-56 passing for 395 yards, all of which were career highs.
Smith found 10 different receivers, led by DK Metcalf's seven catches for 104 yards.
Still, Metcalf was responsible for one of the game's crucial plays when he made a mistake in the first quarter, a turnover that Detroit turned into a second touchdown for a 14-0 lead.
From then on, Seattle played catch-up. Despite having 17 more first downs and 127 more total yards than Detroit, Seattle suffered its first loss.
The game in Miami wasn't nearly as exciting.
The Titans won 31-12 in a game where neither offense made an impact. Tennessee averaged a paltry 3.9 yards per play and still won comfortably.
Mason Rudolph came in at quarterback for Will Levis after Levis hurt his shoulder in the first quarter and only threw for 85 yards. He didn't have to do much, though, as Tennessee took advantage of an inept offense on the other end. The Titans ran for 142 yards, albeit on 40 attempts.
Compared to Miami, Tennessee's offense, which scored five field goals and two touchdowns, looked like the Greatest Show on Turf. If there was a star in the game, it was running back Tony Pollard, who ran for 88 yards on 22 carries. Forty-one of those yards came on a third-quarter run that set up the Titans' first touchdown, giving Tennessee a 16-6 lead that felt (and ultimately was) insurmountable.
The Dolphins offense was awful.
Miami amassed just 184 yards, an average of 3.4 yards per play. The Dolphins couldn't sustain their drive until the fourth quarter, and by then it was too late.
Tyler Huntley signed after Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 2 and threw for 92 yards in his first start of the season. Miami ran for 106, but averaged just 3.5 yards per carry. (Which was still higher than the 3.3 yards per pass.)
The Titans' first win improved their record to 1-3. The Dolphins have lost three in a row and are 1-3 themselves.
Tagovailoa will have to miss at least two more games before he can return from injured reserve.
