DeMarco Murray, Titans run to early lead, hold off Broncos
[...] they find themselves tied atop the AFC South after defeating the defending Super Bowl champions Sunday.
DeMarco Murray ran for 92 yards and a touchdown and the Titans beat the Denver Broncos 13-10 to keep a piece of the division lead.
The Titans came into Sunday with the NFL’s third-best rushing offense and the AFC’s top runner in Murray, and they ran right over a Denver defense that was 28th in that category.
Siemian threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders with 9:58 left and drove the Broncos to 1st-and-goal at the Tennessee 7 before rookie Aaron Wallace sacked him.
Head coach Gary Kubiak settled for a 34-yard field goal by Brandon McManus on 4th-and-goal at the 16 with 4:28 left.
Siemian threw for 334 yards and finally helped a team that leads the NFL in three-and-outs snap an 0-of-17 drought on third-down conversions late in the third quarter.
Denver cornerback Aqib Talib was flagged for unnecessary roughness after tangling with Tennessee wide receiver Harry Douglas on the Tennessee sideline.
