Titans Crumble in Week 2 Blowout Loss to Bills

Sep 21

The Tennessee Titans lost 41-7 in embarrassing fashion to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

The night started off well, to say the least.

The Bills first offensive drive ended in a 7-0 lead after Josh Allen threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to fullback Reggie Gilliam.

The Titans responded with their first drive as well with it ending with a Derrick Henry two-yard touchdown run that tied the game at seven a piece.

The Bills would score 10 more points before the half to lead 17-7.

Then all hell broke loose in the third quarter.

Starting off with the Bills, the offense produced 24 points. Josh Allen connected with Stefon Diggs twice on 14 and 46-yard touchdown passes.

The Titans on the other hand collapsed on offense. Ryan Tannehill threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a pick-six made by linebacker Matt Milano.

Tannehill and the rest of the first string offense was then taken out of the game after that pick-six which saw backup quarterback, Malik Willis getting some action for the last four minutes of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter. The Titans basically threw up the white flag.

Overall, the Titans finished with only 187 total yards on offense. Ryan Tannehill went 11-20 for 117 passing yards and two interceptions. Derrick Henry was not a big factor in this game, especially as he finished with 13 carries for 25 rushing yards with an abysmal 1.9 yards per carry.

The defense gave up 414 total yards. Josh Allen went 26-38 for 317 passing yards and four touchdowns. Stefon Diggs had 12 catches for 148 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Injuries played a huge part in this game. Left tackle Taylor Lewan, special teamer Trenton Cannon, outside linebackers Bud Dupree and Ola Adeniyi and defensive back Ugo Amadi all went down which caused many problems for the offense and defense.

On a night where the offense, defense and special teams all looked lost and outmatched, it was truly a night to forget.
