The Tennessee Titans wanted to re-establish the run to get back on track after losing for the first time.

The Detroit Lions were very accommodating.

Chris Johnson ran for 125 yards and scored twice in the first quarter and LenDale White had two touchdowns in the second and finished with 106 yards rushing, setting up Tennessee's 47-10 victory against Detroit yesterday at Ford Field.

"It's nice to be able to do what you set out to do," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "Both backs got a lot of yards on their own, but they got a lot of help up front."

Johnson was untouched on a short run to the outside and a long gain up the middle.

The two plays were symbolic of the canyon-like gap between the once-beaten Titans and the winless Lions.

Tennessee (11-1) bounced back from its 21-point loss at home to the New York Jets quickly, surging to a 28-3 lead early in the second quarter.

"We hit the first punch, and they fell," White said.

With a 34-point lead midway through the fourth, quarterback Vince Young played for the first time since his left knee was sprained in the opener.

The Lions (0-12) moved a step closer to becoming the NFL's first 0-16 team, losing by a franchise-worst 37 points and giving up a franchise-record 47 points in their 69th game on Thanksgiving.

• Cowboys 34, Seahawks 9: Quarterback Tony Romo might not want to take the splint off his passing hand the way he and Dallas are playing. Romo crisply guided host Dallas to touchdowns on its first three drives and points on the first four, then turned the early surge into a big victory against Seattle (2-10). The Cowboys won their third in a row, matching their best roll of the season, all coming since Romo returned from a broken right pinkie. Dallas is 8-4 and back near the top of the NFC playoff race.
