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.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 Yeezy Boost 350 Outlet .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Nobody offered specific plans, but Charlotte Hornets coach Steve Clifford said during the teams media day on Monday that the organization is in conversations now about ways that we can help a city ravaged in recent days by turmoil.Im sure you all saw the statement from our owner [Michael Jordan], who basically asked all of us to find ways to be a part of the solution, Clifford said. There was a guy who played at Harvard a long time ago named Arne Duncan, and he was in president [Barack] Obamas first cabinet. There was a problem, and he said, Use every crisis as an opportunity. I think that, hopefully, thats what well do. Weve had conversations internally with our players on ways that we can help. I know that they want to do that. And like anything, there are many ways that I think professional athletes can make a positive impact, and reach out and do those things. Thats our plan going forward -- follow our owners lead and try to help our community in a positive way.In the midst of what would turn out to be six nights of protests -- some of which turned violent, resulting in vandalism, looting and one protester suffering critical injury -- Jordan released a statement through the team in which he called for order. The city had witnessed both peaceful demonstrations and violent protests every day since Tuesday night, when a black Charlotte police officer shot and killed 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott, who is black, in an apartment complex parking lot approximately 15 minutes from downtown.It is more important than ever that we restore calm and come together, as a community, in peaceful demonstration and conversation and in constructive and non-violent ways, Jordan said in the statement released by the team. As part of the fabric of Charlotte, the Hornets organization is committed to working with civic leaders, our elected leaders and law enforcement to foster more trust, transparency and understanding so we can heal and grow together as a community.The uptown block near the Hornets arena endured some of the heaviest damage during the protests. Vandals broke out windows at the EpiCentre entertainment complex, which is next to the teams home court, the Spectrum Center, in addition to looting stores. Team officials had said the Hornets Fan Shop, which sells team memorabilia, suffered extensive damage and would be closed until further notice. But a security officer working outside the store on Monday said that on Tuesday the Hornets Fan Shop would be reopened.Fewer than 24 hours prior to the Hornets hitting the court, the Carolina Panthers hosted the Minnesota Vikings at Bank of America Stadium in a game declared an extraordinary event by Charlotte interim city manager Ron Kimble on Saturday. According to the citys news release, an extraordinary even it defined as a large-scale event or an event of national or international significance which might attract a significant number of people to a certain geographic area of the city. That designation gave the city power to modify its permitting process for different activities such as parades, while specifying particular items that are prohibited from being taken into certain boundaries of the event.Hornets point guard Kemba Walker called the situation heartbreaking.Its always a tough situation on both ends. I cant really speak for the police officers, Walker said. I dont know what theyre feeling at the time. I dont know what theyre going through. But its hard. Its hard to watch. Its really hard to watch. I never want to see anyone being killed for no reason. So its pretty disturbing and pretty hard to watch.Even still, Walker feels himself, teammates and the rest of the NBA shoulder the responsibility in aiding in the healing process; not just in Charlotte, but all over the country.You know what? Were working on that as an organization, the NBA, just as a league, Walker said. The NBPA, [executive director] Michele [Roberts], she does a great job with our league and helping us get out in the community. Thats what were going to do. Were gonna get out there in the community and do what we can do to help. Right now, I dont know how. But its in the works. Its gonna happen.I think we will be proactive. It takes time. It takes a lot of people, takes an effort. Were definitely gonna make that effort, especially us having to live here. Me, Ive been here going on six years now. I hate to see these things happen. So Im definitely gonna get out there in the community and do what I can. I want to be a part of it, and I will.A native of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, who had ppreviously played for the Charlotte Bobcats from 2012 to 2014, guard Ramon Sessions vowed to do the same.dddddddddddd.Me being from the Carolinas, I know the area well. Its one of those things thats a touchy subject, unfortunate, one of those incidents, Sessions said. As America, were better than that. Weve just got to become better. Its not just one person, not two people -- it starts with everybody. As a figure in this community, weve got to come in and help out the community. Charlotte is a great city, and at the end of the day, well come together.Center Cody Zeller believes it is good that weve started the conversation about this. Well see what happens with the NBA players, what we end up doing.Interestingly, approximately 12 hours prior to the Hornets taking the court for media day, some protesters still lingered in the streets while several soldiers from the Army National Guard posted up at various spots in uptown such as the Omni Hotel and Ritz-Carlton Hotel along East Trade Street, where the Spectrum Center is located. By Monday afternoon, it appeared a level of normalcy had returned to uptown as the soldiers had left, with only a small police presence still lingering.At the intersection of North Caldwell and East Trade Street, where the Hyatt House in uptown boarded up several windows due to damage from Wednesday nights riots, several local artists -- on an open invitation by the hotel -- worked to paint murals, including a tribute to Scott, over the plywood to help jump-start the healing process. That hotel sits right next to the Spectrum Center.Its been difficult here the last few days, I would say, in Charlotte, but the city is going to recover from this, Hornets forward Marvin Williams said. Charlotte has been a great city, a great place to live, and I think people are excited to get things back to normal.That could prove difficult given all the city has endured.Remember, the 2017 NBA All-Star Game was originally schedule to be played in Charlotte, but the league pulled out of the event due to a law dubbed the bathroom bill that some say can lead to discrimination against the LGBT community. The NCAA also pulled seven championships out of the state, and the ACC has decided to move its conference championship football game out of Charlotte.Its disappointing, Clifford said of the All-Star Game going elsewhere. Its a great thing for the city. Its a great three or four days. You have the elite players in your city. Its a lot of fun; all of the programming and everything that goes with it. Its great for young kids. Its great for basketball junkies. Theres a lot going on. So that part, I feel badly for the city. Then, there were so many people within our organization, starting with [president, chief operating officer and alternate governor] Fred Whitfield, who put so much work into bringing the All-Star Game here. To do all that work and be awarded the game, I also felt badly for them.Walker, meanwhile, said hes super bummed about the league moving the All-Star Game.Details regarding specific plans for the Hornets to make a mark in the community remain sketchy, but forward Spencer Hawes, who is outspoken regarding political matters, thinks its very important for the team to take on a lead role in the healing process in Charlotte. Hawes said that although he respects San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks decision to kneel during the national anthem as a response to social injustice, the Hornets likely wont be following suit unless NBA rules change. NBA players are required to stand during the playing of the national anthem.With regards to the anthem stuff, I know that its in the rulebook that were not allowed to do that. So I dont think that will be an issue, Hawes said. But I think getting the dialogue going is important whether you agree with it or not. Its a step in the process.Basically, as soon as I came back into town is sort of when things started to heat up [with the protests in Charlotte]. I just think its important that we as members of the community and as guys that people in the community look up to, I think its important that we do what we can to focus on going forward, what we can do to bring everybody together to improve relations and to bring the community back even stronger than before. I think we have a special opportunity as athletes to try and build those bridges, to try to bring everybody together. Obviously, in a time like now, its gonna be paramount. ' ' '
