RB Tony Pollard. With QB Will Levis likely getting another week to rest his shoulder, Mason Rudolph is expected to make his second straight start and may lean on Pollard. He ran for 61 yards on 16 rushes last week and has 400 yards rushing in the first six games of a season for the first time in his career.

QB Jared Goff. He has joined Aaron Rodgers (2011), Kurt Warner (1999), Roger Staubach (1971) as the four players in league history to have a passer rating of 140 or better in three straight games. Goff has a chance to become the first to have a passer rating of 140 or better in four games in a row.

How the Titans' top-ranked defense fares against one of the league's best offenses will be pivotal. Tennessee forced the Bills to go three-and-out on their first three drives, allowing just 18 yards, then they scored 34 unanswered points. Goff has helped Detroit average 40 points over the past three games, directing a balanced offense.

Titans coach Brian Callahan said he's likely to give Levis a second straight game off to further heal up the sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder hurt Sept. 30 in their lone win of the season in Miami. ... RB Tyjae Spears might have a chance to return from the injured hamstring that sidelined him last week. ... OT Jaelyn Duncan, who became the third different starting RT last week for the Titans, is out with a hamstring injury. ... Detroit may not miss any key player because of an injury after getting a scare in last week's game when RB David Montgomery hurt his knee.

This will be the Titans' third game at Ford Field and first since 2016. They won their first two games there and have won six straight going into this game. That's Tennessee's longest active winning streak against any opponent. This franchise has lost in Detroit to the Lions only once when the then-Houston Oilers lost 24-13 on Oct. 5, 1986.

Callahan was quarterbacks coach for the Lions in 2016 and 2017. ... The Titans held Buffalo to 74 yards rushing last week, the fewest they've allowed this season. ... The struggling Titans do one thing very well on offense by holding the ball for an average of 31:17 per game, ranking among league leaders in time of possession. ... The Titans have lost three games by a touchdown or less. ... Titans WR Calvin Ridley has had at least 40 yards receiving in two of three road games this season. ... WR Tyler Boyd had a season-high five catches for 43 yards last week. ... TE Chig Okonkwo had season-high 50 yards receiving last week. ... OLB Harold Landry has a TFL in five of six games this season and a sack in two of three road games. ... The defending NFC North champion Lions pulled into a first-place tie in the division with Minnesota and matched the best record in the conference with last week's win. ... The Lions are 5-1 in consecutive seasons for the first time since leaving Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1934 and have a chance to start 6-1 for the first time since 1956. ... Detroit is the only team since the merger to have more offensive touchdowns (18) than incomplete passes (16) in a four-game span. ... RB Jahmyr Gibbs is Detroit’s first player to average at least 5 yards a carry in five straight games with at least 10 rushing attempts. Gibbs is the first Lion to have 600 or more yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in the first six games of a year since Hall of Famer Barry Sanders did it in 1991. ... Brian Branch is the first safety to have 10-plus passes defended and four INTs in the first five games of a season since 1999. ... Branch and Kerby Joseph are the first pair of players to have four INTs through the first six games of a season for the franchise since Hall of Famer Joe Schmidt and Bob Long did it for the Lions in 1958. ... Jack Fox ranks second among NFL punters all time with a 48.48 gross average and fourth with a net average of 42.74 yards.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught a TD pass in four straight games and may get even more targets this week with WR Jameson Williams not fighting his two-game suspension.

Washington (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is enlisting some of her most high-profile surrogates in the closing days of the campaign, hoping those names will help energize her supporters to vote early in the 2024 election.

On Thursday, Harris will headline a Georgia rally that will include a performance from Bruce Springsteen, whose career spans over five decades, and an appearance by former President Barack Obama, still one of the biggest names in Democratic politics.

On Friday, Harris travels to Texas for a Houston rally with Beyoncé, according to three people familiar with the matter. Beyoncé is a native of the Texas city and one of the world's best-known artists. Her 2016 song “Freedom” has become Harris’ campaign anthem.

While the Friday rally is in a red state that even the most optimistic Democrat knows the vice president is unlikely to turn blue in November, her event on Thursday in Georgia highlights the state’s prominent place in her possible path to defeating former President Donald Trump.

Democrats, led by then-former Vice President Joe Biden and Harris, won Georgia in 2020, becoming the first Democratic presidential campaign to win the Southern state since Bill Clinton in 1992. Harris’ campaign is hopeful she can keep the state blue in 2024.

Polls of likely voters in Georgia from NYT/Siena to Fox News to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution show a tight race between Trump and Harris.

Thursday's event is the first in the campaign’s “When We Vote We Win” concert series that aims to encourage Harris supporters to vote before Election Day.

Harris said she's "very honored” to have Obama’s support and called Springsteen an “American icon.” Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry and DJ Mix Master David will also headline the event.

Harris is not the only member of the Democratic campaign to lean on star power in the final days. Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, will have events in North Carolina on Thursday alongside singer-songwriter James Taylor.

Democrats are known for leaning on high-profile surrogates in the final days of presidential races.

Springsteen has long been a supporter of Democratic presidential campaigns. The artist backed Obama in 2008 and 2012, even endorsing the would-be president in the contentious 2008 Democratic primary. He backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, performing at a Philadelphia rally on the eve of Election Day, and endorsed Biden in 2020. The New Jersey artist endorsed Harris earlier this month, calling Trump the "most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

Beyoncé, too, backed Clinton in 2016, performing at an event in Cleveland alongside husband and rapper Jay Z just days before Election Day that year. And Taylor has become a staple at Democratic events and fundraisers.

But Clinton’s loss to Trump in 2016, despite the considerable star power behind her, serves as a warning for Democrats that energy provided by big-name artists like Springsteen and Beyoncé is often not enough to win an election.

Harris campaign advisers, though, see events like those in Georgia and Texas as major moments to mobilize voter enthusiasm and get out the vote before Election Day.

According to the Associated Press count, 2,025,645 people in Georgia have already voted early in-person, while an additional 134,336 mail-in ballots have been submitted in the 2024 general election.
