     The Tennessee Titans shocked the Miami Dolphins 31-12 at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday night. The Dolphins have lost three straight games while the Titans won their first contest this year. Former Hallandale Chargers and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley made his team debut. 
     The first half of scoring consisted of all field goals. Nick Folk helped Tennessee(1-3) with a 53-yard field goal at the 14:16 mark and a 52-yard field goal at 8:20. 
     Miami(1-3) closed it to 6-3 with 4:13 remaining in the second quarter on a 44-yard field goal by Jason Sanders. The Titans regained a six-point lead when Folk booted a 47-yard field goal with no time remaining in the first half. 
     In the third quarter, Sanders added a 56-yard field goal at 9:02 and the Fins trailed 9-6. Tennessee picked up a touchdown with 6:00 left on a seven-yard run to the right side by running back Tyjae Spears and they led 16-6. Folk later kicked his fourth field goal of the game, this one from 51 yards away, to give them a 19-6 advantage with 36 seconds to go in the quarter. 
     It became 22-6 for Tennessee at the 10:45 mark of the fourth quarter. Folk connected with a 29-yard field goal. 
     The Fins cu the deficit to 22-12 with 3:36 remaining in the fourth. Huntley raced in on a one-yard touchdown run. Their two-point conversion attempt was intercepted.
