The Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans met up for just the NFL’s third-ever Tuesday Night Football game, but for very unique circumstances following the Titans’ recent COVID-19 outbreak. The game was originally supposed to be played this past Sunday. Additionally, the Titans missed two weeks of practice due to COVID protocols.
So, it was pretty surprising to see the Titans (4-0) straight-up wallop the Bills 42-16, handing the Bills (4-1) their first loss.
Tonight, the Titans became the first team to score a TD on every red zone possession (minimum 6 RZ drives), have zero turnovers, and allow no sacks since the Patriots defeated the Bills, 56-10, in Week 11 of their undefeated 2007 season

Ryan Tannehill continues to show that last year was not a fluke. The Titans’ quarterback completed 21-of-28 passes for 195 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and had a 129.3 passer rating.

The Titans’ defense was also very good, picking off Josh Allen twice; Allen entered the game with 12 touchdown passes and just one interception.

So, the Titans stay undefeated into Week 6, when they have a very favorable home game against the 1-4 Houston Texans. Things don’t get any easier for the Bills, who have to host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6.
