MNF roundup: Will Levis exits, but Titans still cruise past Dolphins

Nick Folk matched his career high of five field goals and Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears rushed for touchdowns to lead the Tennessee Titans to a 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Mason Rudolph replaced injured quarterback Will Levis and completed 9 of 17 passes for 85 yards as Tennessee (1-3) dominated the beleaguered Dolphins. Levis sustained an apparent right shoulder injury just past the midway point of the first quarter and didn’t return.

Pollard rushed for 88 yards on 22 carries for the Titans, who held Miami to 184 total yards.

Recently signed Tyler Huntley started at quarterback for the Dolphins (1-3), who lost their third consecutive game. Huntley completed 14 of 22 passes for 96 yards, and he also rushed for a score.

Miami has struggled on offense since losing Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion in Week 2. Huntley’s 1-yard scoring run with 3:36 left in the game ended the Dolphins’ dubious streak of 10 straight quarters without a touchdown.

Star receiver Tyreek Hill had just four receptions for 23 yards for the Dolphins, who are averaging an NFL-worst 11.3 points per game.

Levis was injured on a dive at the end of a scramble with just over seven minutes left in the first quarter. Rudolph entered for Tennessee’s next possession with 4:14 left in the frame and played the rest of the contest.

Lions ride Goff’s perfect game to top Seahawks

Jared Goff completed all 18 of his pass attempts, two for touchdowns, and also scored his first career receiving touchdown as the host Detroit Lions defeated the Seattle Seahawks 42-29 on Monday night.

The 29-year-old quarterback had the most completions ever in an NFL game without an incompletion.

Goff passed for 292 yards, including a 70-yard score to Jameson Williams. Amon-Ra St. Brown threw the scoring pass to Goff and also had a receiving touchdown. Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns for the Lions (3-1).

Geno Smith had a career-best 395 passing yards with one touchdown pass and one interception for the Seahawks (3-1). His 38 completions and 56 attempts were both career highs, too.

Seattle’s Kenneth Walker III rushed for 80 yards and three touchdowns and DK Metcalf caught seven passes for 104 yards.

Goff completed 12 passes in the first half as Detroit built a 21-7 lead entering the break.

The Lions scored first with a 12-play, 93-yard drive, capped by David Montgomery’s 1-yard touchdown plunge.

Detroit’s next touchdown was set up by Carlton Davis’ 49-yard return of a Metcalf fumble. Gibbs scored three plays later on a 3-yard run.

The Seahawks responded with a 70-yard scoring drive, capped by Walker’s 1-yard run to cut the deficit to 14-7.

The Lions answered with a 70-yard drive that culminated in Gibbs’ 1-yard touchdown run.

The Seahawks opened the second half with a 75-yard drive that ended with Smith’s 9-yard TD pass to rookie AJ Barner. It was the tight end’s first career touchdown.

Detroit used a trick play to answer that score and take a 28-14 lead. Goff handed the ball to St. Brown on an apparent end around. Instead, Goff rolled to the left and caught a 7-yard scoring pass from the wide receiver.

A 29-yard pass to Tyler Lockett from Smith helped set up Walker’s 1-yard touchdown plunge with 3:03 left in the third quarter. Smith’s two-point conversion pass attempt failed.

It took only one play from scrimmage for Detroit to score again. Goff found an open Williams over the middle, and the third-year receiver raced into the end zone on the 70-yard play for a 35-20 lead.

Walker went for a 21-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter.

Goff’s 8-yard touchdown pass to St. Brown with 5:23 left made it 42-27.

Goff was sacked in the end zone for a safety with 2:01 left before Kerby Joseph’s interception with one minute left sealed Detroit’s win.
