Tennessee Titans didn’t miss a beat in their return to action on Tuesday night despite coming back from a two-week hiatus. Titans hosted Buffalo Bills in a postponed Week 4 game and came out on top with a blowout 42-16 win to improve to a 4-0 record.
Titans had their facilities closed on multiple occasions in the past several weeks following a number of positive COVID-19 tests. Many assumed that this, alongside the fact that they didn’t play a game last week, would cause Tennessee to be a bit rusty against an undefeated Bills’ team.
This was only true in the first quarter, which both teams finished with seven points a-piece on the board. In the second quarter, the Titans started rolling and scored two touchdowns via Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill to get up by 11 before the end of the first half.
The second half saw more of the same from Titans, as they held Buffalo scoreless in the third period and continued to pile up points. Tannehill threw two TD passes to Jonnu Smith while Henry added one more score.
Bills, on the other hand, only managed to score one touchdown, coupled with a failed two-point conversion, to make the score less painful.
“All the credit goes to the players for sticking together and playing in the manner in which they did,” said Titans’ head coach Mike Vrabel. “I am never going to question this football team. I am never going to question the effort. … I expect us to win and play with great effort.”
Titans were led by Tannehill, who completed 21 out of 28 passes attempted for 195 yards and three touchdowns. Henry added 19 carries for 57 yards and two TDs, while A.J. Brown caught seven passes for 82 yards and a score.
