A tough one to watch.

The Tennessee Titans finally got into the win column with a 31-12 road win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football in a matchup between two struggling teams.

Nevertheless, a victory is a victory and here are five takeaways from the game:

Who knew? Kicker Nick Folk is a Fantasy Football star

With the Titans' offense in need of some kind of spark, Folk provided it with five field goals and two extra points, accounting for 17 of Tennessee's 31 points in their first victory of the season.

It pays to have a solid kicker,  who went 5-for-5 in field goals — three of which were for 50-plus yards.

Give that man the game ball!

It took some trickery for the first touchdown of the game

Hey ... whatever it takes, right? A touchdown on the direct snap ... why not? A creative play.

After three winless weeks, this had to feel great

Finally, something to celebrate for the Tennessee Titans, ending the game with an exclamation mark!

A tough time if you have Tyreek Hill on your Fantasy squad

After producing 130 yards and a touchdown receiving in Week 1, Hill has 87 yards without a touchdown over his last three games combined. Monday night's loss to the Titans had the superstar wideout without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa ... and it painfully showed as he netted just 23 yards receiving on four catches.

Fantasy Football players ... sorry in advance.

Dolphins' fans, Titans' fans ... it's going to be a long season

Let's face it — this first game of a Monday Night Football doubleheader was brutally painful to watch as two anemic offenses struggled.

You know it's bad when you get your first win and you're 1-3 as the Titans improved to. The Dolphins are also 1-3. The only team with a worse record? The 0-4 Jacksonville Jaguars. Ouch.
