MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey decided his starters would play one series Thursday night, and for the defense, that meant a single snap.The Titans forced and recovered a fumble on the games first play, setting up a touchdown as they beat Miami 21-10 in the Dolphins remodeled stadium.Tennessee defensive end DaQuan Jones jarred the ball loose from Jay Ajayi, and Rashad Johnson recovered. Three plays later, rookie Derrick Henry scored on a 1-yard run, and that was the last action for almost all Titans first-teamers.Im happy with the defense with a turnover on the first play, Mularkey said. Im happy with the offense scoring a touchdown off of the turnover. Those are things good teams do.The game gave South Floridians their first chance to check out the $500 million renovation of the Dolphins stadium, including a canopy and new video boards, as the project made its tight deadline.We had over 600 workers here, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for eight months, Dolphins president Tom Garfinkel said. Thats what it took to get it done.Any attendance boost will have to wait, however.

To have that happen, I expect better from him.Ajayi may lose the starting job to Arian Foster, who didnt play. CB Tony Lippett, battling rookie Xavien Howard for a starting job, had a first-quarter interception. Howard made his preseason debut and had three tackles.Tennessee: RB Bishop Sankey, a 2014 second-round pick fighting for a roster spot, didnt get a carry until the second half and finished with 25 yards in eight carries.

Alex Tanney, trying to make the team as the third QB, went 17 for 20 for 168 yards with two interceptions.
