DETROIT, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Chris Johnson and LenDale White rushed for two touchdowns Thursday, helping the Tennessee Titans roll to a 47-10 rout of the Detroit Lions.

The victory helped the Titans avenge their only defeat this season, 34-13 against the New York Jets last Sunday.

Johnson gained 125 yards on 16 carries.

White gained 106 yards on 23 carries.

Kerry Collins completed 11-of-18 passes and the defense held Detroit to just 23 rushing yards.

The Titans (11-1) handed the Lions their worst-ever loss in their annual Thanksgiving Day contest.

Tennessee settled the contest with a 21-point first quarter and led 35-10 at the half.

Detroit's Daunte Culpepper went 13-of-26 for 134 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Calvin Johnson caught five passes for 66 yards and Chris Hanson booted a team-record 53-yard second quarter field goal for the Lions (0-12), who matched their worst start in team history.

They also went 0-12 in the 2001 season.
