The Detroit Lions returned home for the first time in nearly a month and took care of business against the Tennessee Titans.

After some early back-and-forth action between the two teams, the Lions dominated the game in all three phases en route to a 52-14 dominant win. It moved the Lions to 6-1 for the first time since 1956 with a pivotal divisional showdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.

Running back Jahmyr Gibbs played a big role in the win with 127 rushing yards on just 11 carries, highlighted by a career-long 70-yard rushing touchdown. For his efforts, he was Pro Football Focus' highest-graded player with an 87.7 overall offensive grade.

"When you consistently win games like that, your confidence can go through the roof," Gibbs said. "But we know you can lose a game just like that, so we treat every opponent the same."

Here's a look at the highest and lowest PFF-graded players in Sunday's win, with a minimum of 10 snaps played.
