Mason Rudolph’s interception sets up David Montgomery’s touchdown as Lions score first

Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph got off to a rough start today in Detroit.

Under heavy pressure, Rudolph should have simply taken the sack, but instead he tried to force a pass, and Lions linebacker Trevor Nowaske intercepted it deep in Titan territory.

From there, the Lions twice handed the ball off to David Montgomery, and he responded with a nine-yard run and a seven-yard run, the latter reaching the end zone for a touchdown and a 7–0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Detroit’s Malcolm Rodriguez was injured. He limped to the sideline and was wheeled to the locker room. The Lions said he has an ankle injury and will not return.

Titans starting quarterback Will Levis is injured and out today. Levis has made some dumb throws this season and now Rudolph has shown he can do the same. The Titans need him to get better.
