Chris 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 Tennessee Titans and the 0-12 Detroit Lions.

Johnson ran for two touchdowns in the first quarter, LenDale White scored twice in the second and Tennessee coasted to a 47-10 win over Detroit.

Johnson finished with 125 yards rushing and White had 106 on the ground as Tennessee (11-1) met its goal of reestablishing its running game.
