DETROIT -- Marcus Mariota moved the Tennessee Titans down the field like a savvy veteran, not a second-year pro, and completed all nine of his throws to complete a comeback a week after his turnovers hurt his teams shot to win. Justin Ellis Jersey .Mariota converted a fourth down with a perfectly lofted 9-yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson with 1:13 left, lifting the Titans to a 16-15 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.They came out in a look that we had kind of anticipated, Mariota said. Looking at it, we had a matchup with Andre on a linebacker. We felt that we could kind of exploit that a little bit, and he made a great play. I just tried to give him a chance.Mariota, the No. 2 pick of the 2015 NFL draft, dropped the pass over linebacker Tahir Whitehead to Johnson, the No. 3 pick overall in 2013, just before safety Rafael Bush could get to him to potentially break up the pass.Johnson said he didnt play a lot at Detroit, but was thankful his new team gave him a chance to make a catch in a crucial situation.Andre made a great play, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Thats why hes going to be in the Hall of Fame.The Titans (1-1) ended a five-game losing streak, dating to last December, after Mariota threw two TD passes in the fourth quarter after trailing 15-3.Its something you can build on, Johnson said.The Lions (1-1) had an opportunity to set up a winning field goal in the final minute for a second straight week, but Matthew Stafford threw an interception to Perrish Cox at midfield with 18 seconds left.It was a great play by him, Stafford said. I wish I hadnt thrown the ball, but hindsight is 20-20.Detroit had won seven of nine, dating to midway through the 2015 season, and receiver Golden Tate said wasting a chance to continue the teams momentum wont affect its players or coaches.Were definitely confident and will be confident from here on out, Tate said.Tennessee started five possessions at their 9 or closer to their end zone, making it tough to win the battle of field position. DeMarco Murray flipped the field once with a 67-yard run, his longest since 2011 when he was a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys, but the Titans didnt take advantage because of mistakes in the flag-filled game that included 29 penalties. Detroit was flagged 17 times, matching the most penalties the team has had in a game since at least 1950.When it mattered most, the Titans went 93 yards -- including 10 yards they had to gain twice because of a penalty -- on 13 plays over nearly 6 minutes on the game-winning drive.A week ago, Mariota had two turnovers that led to Tennessee losing a 10-point lead in a 25-16 loss to Minnesota and proved he could bounce back.The guy is a gamer, Mularkey said. Hes gutty. Hell give us a chance every game we play.NOT TIGHTThe Titans got tight end Delanie Walker involved as planned, and as Detroit feared it would after letting Indianapolis Colts tight ends Dwayne Allen and Jack Doyle combine for seven receptions, 88 yards and three TDs last week. Walker had six receptions for 83 yards, including a 30-yard TD catch early in the fourth quarter that helped Tennessee pull within five points.When we watched the Colts film, we seen a lot of things that we thought we could take advantage of, Walker acknowledged.INJURY WOESThe Lions played without one of their best players on defense, missing linebacker DeAndre Levy because of a quadriceps injury, and lost another top player on that side of the ball early in the game when defensive end Ezekiel Ansah limped off with a left ankle injury and didnt return. Detroit running back Ameer Abdullah left with an injured left foot after a 24-yard run in the second quarter. The Titans had linebacker Derrick Morgan (hamstring) inactive and rookie Kevin Dodd made the most of the opportunity to play more, sacking Stafford late in the first half. They lost another linebacker, Avery Williamson, with a back injury during the game.UP NEXTThe Titans head back home to host Oakland. Detroit goes on the road, where it will be for three of its first four games, to play Baltimore.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Clive Walford Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Lester Hayes Jersey . For the Wild it was their first win of the season and they now have a record of 1-1-2 while the Jets fall to 2-2.
