Lions and Seahawks begin, the Titans lead 3-0 over the Dolphins

Mason Rudolph led the Titans to their first points of the game. A relatively short field ultimately led to a 53-yard field goal by Nick Folk.

The Dolphins – who have gone 22 straight possessions without a touchdown – will now try to find an answer.

We are scoreless after one quarter and this game has become a battle of backup quarterbacks.

However, the Titans are in Dolphins territory and have a chance to break this tie early in the second quarter.

According to the ESPN broadcast, it is questionable whether Titans quarterback Will Levis will return.

Miami goes three-and-out and the Titans take over with Mason Rudolph at quarterback.

Will Levis appeared to be injured after falling heavily on his right shoulder while attempting to run to first down.

Miami's blunder didn't hurt them after all.

With Will Levis still unable to get any easy yardage for Tennessee, the Titans took the lead with a three-pointer before a punt. Levis completed three of his first four passes, but to little effect.

Miami quarterback Tyler Huntley threw a return pass that Tyreek Hill dropped. Tennessee's Arden Key was the only player on the field aware that the pass might be a live ball when he recovered it. It took a referee check to confirm the rally. So far, every team has had a shocking rally.

The Titans had success on their first drive, but Will Levis was picked off by Emmanuel Ogbah. Levis has had a penchant for turnovers so far this season, coughing up the ball on Tennessee's opening drive.

It's Tyler Huntley time for the Dolphins.

With Tua Tagovailoa under center, the Miami Dolphins were a playoff team and possible Super Bowl contender.

Without him, the Dolphins haven't scored a touchdown in nearly 80 miles of game time.

Tagovailoa suffered a head injury in Miami's Week 2 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and his backups Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle were unable to lead the Dolphins into the end zone in a Week 3 loss to Seattle.

Tyler Huntley, who was signed off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad, gets his chance to lead Miami tonight.

Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins tonight.

Huntley was born in Dania Beach, about 15 miles from the Dolphins' home stadium. He attended Hallandale High School, which is even closer to Miami's home.

The Dolphins signed Huntley to their practice squad after Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 2. He was named the starter after backup Skylar Thompson suffered a rib injury in Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Huntley has a career record of 3-6.

At $111 billion over 11 years, the NFL's media rights deal is the largest in the United States. The deal includes an exit clause after the 2029 season with all media partners except Disney (which can exit a year later).

Sources tell me the cancellation also affects Sunday Ticket, the league's out-of-market package for which Alphabet's YouTube paid around $2 billion. This means that after the 2029-30 Super Bowl, the NFL has the right to completely reshape the media landscape if it so chooses.

Five years is a lifetime in the media industry, given the rapid pace of change. To put that time frame in perspective, if you rewind five years from now, Disney+, NBCUniversal's Peacock, Paramount+, and Max (formerly known as HBO Max) had all yet to launch. Together they now have more than 300 million subscribers.

But it's not too early to think about what the year 2029 symbolizes. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that 2029 could be the end of the modern media age. It's at least plausible that streaming has become so dominant at this point that the NFL feels comfortable removing some Sunday afternoon packages from broadcast television, especially given the better balance sheets and potential global reach of companies like Netflix, Google, Apple and Amazon.

Brian Callahan, the Tennessee Titans' first-year head coach, is overseeing aspects he didn't have to think about before as an assistant. He manages the training schedule, strength training and his staff – which happens to include his father, Bill Callahan, as the offensive line coach.

“It’s a dream come true,” Bill said. “We are proud of Brian, as we are of all of our children, but this is truly a unique and rare situation we are in right now.”

Now a father and son from the same family tree – but slightly different coaching backgrounds – are trying to put the Titans on the road to success.

Their similarities and unique dynamic have led to a few misunderstandings and jokes along the way.

Calvin Johnson, who holds nearly every record for the Detroit Lions, will be honored at tonight's game by being inducted into the Pride of the Lions.

Johnson, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021, played in Detroit from 2007 until his retirement after the 2015 season.

Kansas City won its eleventh road game in a row against the Chargers yesterday with 17:10.

Both teams rallied from an initial 10-point deficit to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. Chiefs running back Samaje Perine scored a 2-yard touchdown to give Kansas City its first lead of the game, and when wide receiver Xavier Worthy later caught quarterback Patrick Mahomes' third pass, the Chiefs earned their fourth victory in Episode of the year.

But it wasn't all cause for celebration for the Chiefs. Wide receiver Rashee Rice left the game early in the first quarter with a potentially serious knee injury.

The Steelers were previously undefeated and lost 24:27 to the Indianapolis Colts last night after a poor defensive performance.

Despite Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson's injury in the first half, the team was able to dominate thanks to 39-year-old Joe Flacco, who subbed in for Richardson and threw two touchdown passes of his own.

For many casual football fans, it might be a frightening sight to see Mike Macdonald roaming the Seattle Seahawks sidelines rather than the gum-chewing, confident Pete Carroll.

Macdonald is the youngest head coach in the NFL at 37 years old and one of the few to hold a head coaching job who has no significant playing experience beyond high school.

And although he spent several years as a coordinator and assistant coach in the NFL and colleges, he was never the man in charge. Seattle hired him earlier this year from the Baltimore Ravens, where he served as defensive coordinator.

No one feels more heat in Nashville than error-prone Titans quarterback Will Levis.

He has thrown five interceptions in just 94 passes, for a 5.3% pick rate, third highest in the NFL, and Tennessee's team offense ranks 29th with 260.3 yards per game.

But as shaky as those numbers were, the 25-year-old QB, who graduated in the same high school class as Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence, arguably performed worse on the eye test.

In a 24-17 loss to the New York Jets on September 15, Levis caused a fumble with a ridiculous, improvised sideways kick deep in New York territory that resulted in a turnover.
