‘Under the circumstances it’s difficult to think the Titans are going to have the manpower and the conditioning to hang with the Bills in this one. Sean McDermott has had extra time to prepare for a Titans team that’ll be missing a few of their weapons and the defense seemed to start to click against the Raiders. I expect Allen to spread the ball around once again and the Titans defense, which is allowing more than 400 yards a game, to struggle to contain the Bills offense.’

Sullivan: Bills finally on the right side of NFL’s offensive explosion
‘Couldn’t it simply be that young quarterbacks are coming on the scene and hitting their stride? Allen is a prime example. He has made remarkable progress in his third NFL season, and I suspect he’d still be on pace to break most of the team passing records if there hadn’t been a pandemic.’

Opinion: Bills at Titans: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘The Bills certainly have plenty of reasons to not be in sync in this game. They had no idea who their next game was even against as of Saturday and essentially had to game plan for two different opponents over the weekend. They’ve had to think, and worry, about their opponent having a Covid outbreak just days before they have to block and tackle them. But no matter what the circumstances, they have to do their best to stay focused on the task at hand and playing a football game against likewise unbeaten team. The Bills are very fortunate to have people like general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott in charge. They’re on top of everything, and extremely measured. Their players are usually a reflection of them and don’t let get too caught up in things they can’t control. They need to keep doing that Tuesday night.’
Allen’s turnaround is unprecedented in NFL history

What’s even more incredible is that he has the fewest interceptions of every one of them over that time.’
