‘Head coach Sean McDermott told the media on Wednesday that linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral), wide receiver John Brown (calf), cornerback Tre’Davious White (back), and offensive guard Quinton Spain are all improving, but didn’t have any specific update on any of their status.’

‘The Bills laid an egg in prime time, which was disappointing. The offense didn’t score enough points. The defense was bad. Special teams had a couple of mistakes. The Bills also hurt themselves with 10 penalties, seven of which were pre-snap. They had four false starts, three coming on the same drive, on a night when there were only 8,400 fans in the stands.’

‘Pass coverage was horrendous without cornerbacks Tre’Davious White and Levi Wallace. Slot corner Taron Johnson got lost a few times, and if Josh Norman has had a worse outing in the NFL, that game tape probably should have been destroyed to protect the innocent.’

‘The Bills have typically started games pretty well this season, but it seemed like it was going to be a long night right from the get-go on Tuesday. On Buffalo’s first offensive possession, a Josh Allen pass went off the hands of Andre Roberts and into the arms of Malcolm Butler, abruptly ending their first drive and giving the Titans a short field to work with, as they started their first series on offense at the Buffalo 16-yard line.’

‘The Bills just didn’t seem like they were ready for this game, for whatever reason. They started slow, dropped passes, had pre-snap penalties, and generally looked lackadaisical throughout a lot of the game. They were undisciplined and not focused. This was not the Bills team we’ve been accustomed to seeing under Sean McDermott overall, and especially through the first four games of this season.’

‘The Tennessee Titans had no new positive COVID-19 test results from Sunday’s round of testing, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.’

‘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.’

‘Through statistical analysis and research via Pro Football Reference, not only was Allen’s touchdown-to-interception ratio jump unheard of, but throughout the history of the game, Allen is one of only 15 quarterbacks to throw at least 29 touchdowns in Games 17 through 32. What’s even more incredible is that he has the fewest interceptions of every one of them over that time.’

‘“I’ve never seen Josh throw a football. I know how far I can throw it and I can put it out there,” Mahomes said. “If he can beat how far I can throw it, he got me, but I know it’s pretty far.”’

‘The Titans have now had 24 positive tests amongst staff and players in the past two weeks.’

‘However, because of several NFL schedule changes due to positive COVID-19 tests around the league, that game will now be played the following Monday at 5 p.m. ET, the league has announced.’

‘This also means the that the Bills’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs, originally scheduled for Thursday night, is still scheduled to be played later this weekend. No day or time for the game has been announced by the league yet.’

‘The Tennessee Titans finally got some promising news on Friday as Thursday’s round of COVID-19 testing all came back negative, according to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero.’

‘As long as there are no more new positive COVID-19 cases in Tennessee over the next few days, the game will go on as scheduled on Tuesday. It would be the first NFL game played on a Tuesday since 2010 when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Minnesota Vikings in a game that was delayed due to a blizzard.’

‘The Titans cannot reopen their facility until after they have two days of no positive results.’
