DETROIT -- The Tennessee Titans set the tone for their game against Detroit on the opening kickoff, when Cody Riggs was called for a penalty during the return.The Lions answered immediately with Haloti Ngatas offside infraction on the first play from scrimmage.Forget the final score of 16-15 Titans. For much of Sundays game , the story was the penalties, which occurred with such frequency for the first three quarters it looked like these two teams might threaten a 65-year-old NFL record.Detroit finished with 17 penalties for 138 yards, and Tennessee was flagged 12 times for 83 yards.Thats got to be an NFL record, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. Id have to think that.Not quite. The record is 37 penalties by Cleveland (21) and Chicago (16) on Nov. 25, 1951. The Lions and Titans were nearly halfway there after two quarters, having combined for 18. They were at 26 by the end of the third.In 1937, Detroit was called for only 19 penalties for 139 yards all season -- two records that still stand. The Lions nearly reached both of those totals in one game Sunday.Ive never seen anything like that, Detroit cornerback Darius Slay said. The refs were calling everything. Got to clean it up and do better next week.The flags cost Detroit crucial points in an almost farcical sequence toward the end of the first half. A pass interference call on Tennessee gave the Lions first-and-goal from the 1. Then Detroits Eric Ebron had a touchdown catch wiped out by an offensive pass interference call on him.On the next play, Matthew Stafford had another TD pass nullified, this time by a holding penalty. And the Lions were called for holding again on the play after that, leaving them with first-and-goal from the 26. They settled for a field goal.Obviously, the penalties were a problem. Seventeen penalties is ridiculous, Detroit coach Jim Caldwell said. We need to stop this. Time after time, we put the ball into the end zone and had it brought back by penalties, and we let the Titans off the hook several times with defensive penalties.A flag on a punt pinned the Titans back at their 5 in the first quarter and led directly to a safety that gave the Lions a 2-0 lead. Detroit had a touchdown called back in that quarter as well, but the Lions reached the end zone on that drive anyway.There were four offside calls in the first quarter, and in the second, the Titans managed to get flagged for offside while kicking off after a field goal.Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker said the teams could have anticipated this type of game with referee Brad Allens crew. There are scouting reports on officials too.We knew what type of referees we had, Walker said. They were probably throwing the most holding penalties, which they showed. We expected that. They made the game slower, but they are the referees. Theres no use fighting with them.In the third quarter, the Lions drove 63 yards in 14 plays for a field goal and a 15-3 lead. There were five penalties on that drive: holding on Detroit, unnecessary roughness on Detroit, holding on Tennessee, offensive pass interference on Detroit, and roughing the passer on Tennessee.It was that kind of day.Tough to win a game that way, Stafford said.

CINCINNATI -- Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw missed his teammates so much that he flew from Los Angeles to Cincinnati just to work out with them.The injured left-hander threw on flat ground Friday before their game against the Reds, the last step before he throws off a mound in the bullpen for the first time in more than a month.I feel good so far, said Kershaw, who has been sidelined since June 26 with a herniated disk. Its a one-step-at-a-time thing. I throw a bullpen [session] tomorrow. Thats another step. Ive been throwing for the last week and a half, and I havent had any problems.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was as happy to see Kershaw as Kershaw was to be with the team.Hes in good spirits, Roberts said. Part of it is because hes healthy and part of it is getting back with his teammates and getting reacquainted.The three-time National League Cy Young Award winner and 2014 Most Valuable Player is expected to pitch off a mound Saturday for the first time since throwing in a simulated game July 16. That step followed an aggressive rehab program and aggravated his symptoms, leading to a complete shutdown.Kershaw, who was 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA when he was injured, is optimistic hell have better results this time.We got to the point the last time where I was throwing off thhe mound, he said.dddddddddddd This time, Ive done everything I need to do. We gave it a shot the first time, and we were pretty aggressive. There were no signs that it would backfire, but it did. This time, weve been more conservative.Roberts expects Kershaw to throw 20 to 25 pitches Saturday and, if all goes well, 40 in another bullpen session Tuesday in Los Angeles.Kershaw was asked why he decided to rejoin his teammates in Cincinnati.Skyline Chili, he said, smiling, mentioning a local delicacy. Its fun to be on the road with the guys. Its no fun watching on TV. I like being on the road.Roberts also said left-hander Rich Hill, who has been on the disabled list since July 18 with a left middle finger blister, likely will be activated next week and make his Dodgers debut after being acquired in an Aug. 1 trade with the Oakland Athletics.Hill threw 75 pitches in a simulated game Thursday at the Dodgers spring training facility before joining the team Friday in Cincinnati. Hill said he expects to make his debut Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants, according to The Orange County Register.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
