Titans blast Fish

In spite of the impact of Hurricane Ivan, the Tennessee Titans were ready ready to play.

Tennessee made three interceptions, including one in their own end zone and another returned 37 yards for a touchdown by Lamont Thompson, and beat the Miami Dolphins 17-7.

The Dolphins used two QB's, but both Jay Fiedler and A.J. Feeley struggled. Fiedler threw two interceptions and was replaced at halftime. Feeley, under pressure from a blitzing Keith Bulluck, threw the interception to Thompson for Tennessee's second touchdown.

Chris Brown, (Eddie George's replacement) set up a touchdown with a 52-yard run. Brown gained 100 yards in 16 carries but sat out the second half with an ankle injury.

Tennessee outrushed the Dolphins 182 yards to 65. Miami averted a shutout when Feeley threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Randy McMichael with 3:22 left.

Fiedler led his team to just three first downs - one by penalty - and threw two interceptions before getting the hook. He went 5-for-13 for 42 yards, while newcomer Feeley went 21-for-31 for 168 yards.

Steve McNair moved the Titans 75 yards to set up a 22-yard field goal by Aaron Elling, who signed Friday. He also missed a 33-yarder.

Fantasy Football Analysis: We knew Miami's QB's would be a weakness - and we knew Chris Brown was a sleeper - now what we don't know is how severe his injury is. (or if the Dolphins will win a game in September)
