Monday Night Football live updates: Lions hold off Seahawks as Titans pick up first win of the season
Posted on | Posted on angela

It took a perfect performance from Jared Goff, who even caught a touchdown pass himself, but the Detroit Lions held off Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

The Lions pulled ahead late, earning a 42-29 victory over the Seahawks at Ford Field in the second of two Monday Night Football games to close out the week. This was Seattle's first loss of the year.

Goff was perfect in this extremely entertaining duel. He completed 18 of 18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns. In the second half, he threw a 70-yard touchdown to Jameson Williams and himself caught a 7-yard pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown for a score.

Smith also had a great evening. He threw for 395 yards and a touchdown in the loss for Seattle. DK Metcalf also had 104 yards on seven catches.

In the first game of the evening, it was Mason Rudolph – not Will Levis – who led the Tennessee Titans to their first win of the season. The Titans earned a commanding 31-12 win over the Miami Dolphins in South Florida, moving them to 1-3 on the year. Rudolph replaced Levis early in the first quarter after he was injured, and he carried the team the rest of the way. He finished the game 9 of 17 for 85 yards. Tony Pollard ran 88 yards and a score to seal the win late in the fourth quarter.

The Dolphins used third-string quarterback Tyler Huntley as both Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson are dealing with various injuries. Huntley finished 12 of 20 for 81 yards.

  • Goff returns the favor

    After Amon-Ra St. Brown threw him one earlier in the night, it's only fair that Jared Goff returned the favor. Towards the end of the fourth quarter, the Lions again had a two-point lead.

  • Final: Titans 31, Dolphins 12

    The Titans defeated the Dolphins to get their first win of the season.

    The Dolphins finally found the end zone. Tyler Huntley just hit a 1-yard touchdown, but they missed the two-point conversion attempt. The Titans now lead by 10 with about three minutes left.

  • Jameson Williams for the Lions!

    Jameson Williams makes a wild 70-yard grab on the first play of the drive and scores again for Detroit! It's now 35-20 late in the third period.

  • Seahawks 20, Lions 28

    The Seahawks are absolutely keeping up with Detroit in this half. Kenneth Walker just scored a 1-yard score to keep Seattle in this one. The two-point conversion wasn't good, though, so it's an eight-point game.

    My God, David Montgomery.

  • End 3: Titans 19, Dolphins 6

    The Titans extended their lead to 13 points after a field goal by Nick Folk. They are just 15 minutes away from their first win of the season.

    Jahmyr Gibbs extended the Lions' lead with another touchdown run late in the second quarter.

    Dolphins:
    Tyler Huntley: 7 of 10 for 35 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions; 1 lost fumble

    Titans coach Brian Callahan told ESPN he wasn't sure who would start at quarterback in the second half. If Will Levis can play with his injured shoulder, Callahan says he will play.

    “We’ll see how it turns out,” Callahan said. … “If he can play, he will go.”

  • Fortunately, the first half came to an end in Miami. The Dolphins and Titans combined for four field goals, six punts, one fumble and one interception. The Titans led 9-3 at halftime with a third field goal by Nick Folk as time expired.
