There wasn't much rust for the Titans on Tuesday, as they comfortably rolled over the Bills for a 42-16 victory.
Tennessee hadn't played a game in 16 days — its Week 4 game was postponed to later in the season because of multiple COVID-19 outbreaks. But the Bills looked like the less prepared team, committing two turnovers on offense and anotheer special teams while giving up a couple of big returns.
Ryan Tannehill completed 21 of 28 passes for 195 yards and three TDs, and added 42 yards rushing and a TD on the ground. Derrick Henry carried 19 times for 57 yards (3.0 YPC) and two TDs. The Titans recorded 334 yards of total offense compared to 370 for the Bills, but four of their six touchdowns came on drives of 30 yards or less.
Buffalo's string of mistakes started on the first possession of the game when Bills QB Josh Allen's pass behind Andre Roberts was tipped and picked off by Malcom Butler, setting up a TD toss from Tannehill to A.J. Brown for a 7-0 Titans lead.
Allen bounced back on the next possession and led a TD drive to tie things up. But late in the opening period, Buffalo's punt team allowed Kalif Raymond to return it all the way to the 30-yard line. That set up Tennessee with another short field and another easy touchdown on a 1-yard run by Henry to make it 14-7.
The Titans capped off a great first half with a 12-play, 90-yard touchdown drive led by Tannehill, who ran it in from 10 yards out to give Tennessee a 21-10 lead at the break.
Allen finally looked to have regained his poise on the first drive of the second half, only to throw another interception to Butler, who ran it all the way down to the Buffalo 12-yard line. Tannehill hit Jonnu Smith for a 4-yard TD to make it 28-10.
Buffalo got a consolation score in the fourth quarter to somewhat make a game of it, but Tennessee scored on the ensuing possession with a 9-yard rush by Henry, then recovered a fumble on the following kickoff and scored again on a 7-yard pass from Tannehill to Smith to ice the game.
