Armagh's Niall Grimley got their first score from a free three minutes later but they were only able to add another three points before the half time whistle.
The game never seemed in reach for Armagh going in to the second half already seven points down but unlike many other times when the half time break spurred the team on to a nail biting finale, things just got worse.
With Tyrone dominating there were slim pickings indeed for Armagh, managing just another four points to bow out of the Championship with a final score of Tyrone 3:17 Armagh 0:8
