Despite not practicing and not playing a game in over two weeks, the Tennessee Titans managed to stay dominant on the field, defeating the Buffalo Bills 42-16 on Tuesday night and remaining undefeated on the season.
The Titans were hit by a COVID-19 outbreak with 13 players and 11 staff members testing positive for the virus over the last several weeks. They had to reschedule last week’s game with the Steelers and push this week’s game with the Bills back two days as a result.
Despite all that, the Titans looked as focus as ever, especially quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who might end up being a dark horse candidate in the race for MVP this season. Tannehill was efficient all game long, moving the Titans down the field consistently. He ended up throwing for three touchdowns and running in one more.
Titans running back Derrick Henry was his usual self, bullying the defense all night and scoring two touchdowns. One of the most memorable plays of the game, if not the season so far, was when Henry set the tone for the game with a devastating stiff arm on Bills cornerback Josh Norman that sent him flying several feet.
The Bills came into the game undefeated as well. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen had his first rough day of the season, throwing two interceptions. In the previous four games, he only threw one pick.
The Titans will look to remain undefeated next week against the Houston Texas, who just picked up their first win after the team fired head coach/general manager Bill O’Brien.
