The high-flying Detroit Lions dismantled the rebuilding Tennessee Titans at home in Week 8, securing a 52-14 victory with most of the scoring done in the first half.

Quarterback Jared Goff had an efficient outing, completing 12 of 15 passes for 85 yards and three touchdowns. However, he was sacked four times and logged two turnover-worthy plays, which may impact his PFF grade upon review.

PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow at 12 p.m. EST.
