He only did that for the 2nd half of the Chargers' game. Since then Frazier has called the defense on game days.

vs. NFL.com Game Preview An early look at next week's opponent.

They are congealing into a unit that can keep the team in games on a weekly basis. It's nice to see after the slow start to begin the season.

The Bills were committed to the run game, as evidenced by their 43 total carries, but they weren’t exactly effective. It was positive that LeSean McCoyhad 24 carries in this one, but he averaged just 3.5 yards per carry. A positive note is that McCoy did have a few runs in which he looked like he was back to his usual self. Specifically, the third-down catch and run late in the fourth quarter, in which he forced multiple missed tackles to bring the Bills into winning position. The run game was so aggressive in this one because it was clear that the Bills were trying to keep it simple for Josh Allen. Almost every passing play was either a short designed quick pass or screen, or one in which Allen rolled out in order to cut down on his reads. The good news is that he was effective at it. He missed on throws, of course, but there were no real bad turnover-worthy plays, which is a big positive for Allen. Cornerback Tre’Davious White is starting to get recognized by opposing offenses in his second year in the NFL, as quarterbacks have started to avoid him. White was targeted just one time against Tennessee, and that ball fell incomplete. Buffalo linebackers had an impressive outing against Tennessee. Matt Milanoand Lorenzo Alexander were both all over the field, as they made multiple plays both in coverage and in run defense. Their solid tackling was a big key in the Bills not allowing big plays to the Titans.

Well duh! Of course that's why.

What We Learned So Far from Sunday's Week 5 Games Buffalo Bills 13, Tennessee Titans 12 1. After a dazzling performance filled with daring-do against the Eagles, Tennessee's offense morphed into a raging dud on Sunday, stuck watching from afar as Buffalo's Stephen Hauschka nailed a 46-yard field goal at the buzzer for another surprising upset by the Bills (2-3). The Titans (3-2) came out flat and never rose to life, with wideout Taywan Taylor losing a fumble on the team's first possession before a subsequent doomed toss by Marcus Mariota landed in the arms of Bills fourth-rounder Taron Johnson. Tennessee's troubles extended into the second half with a killer fumble by Dion Lewis. Hanging around with four field goals by Ryan Succop simply wasn't enough. It's fair to ask what happened to the aggressive attack that nipped Philly a week ago, but chalk that up to a Buffalo defense that played well from wire to wire and held Mariota to just 129 yards at 5.0 yards per throw. 2. This game showed us once again what Josh Allen can do on the ground as Buffalo's rookie signal-caller opened the scoring with a tantalizing, 14-yard scoring scramble through Tennessee's top-ranked red-zone defense. The Bills left points on the board, though, when punter-holder Corey Bojorquezmelted down on an apparent fake field goal in the second quarter before Allen saw a pass bounce weirdly into the arms of Tennessee's Adoree' Jackson. What impressed me was a Bills ground game that saw LeSean McCoy (24/85) and Chris Ivory (14/43) make a handful of big, clock-chewing runs down the stretch against a Titans defensive front that was overpowered in key moments. 3. Results aside, Sunday served as another reminder that knocking out the Bills in Buffalo is no simple task. The play of Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy and the team's defensive front seven often echoed the team's stunning win over Minnesota. Buffalo controlled the line of scrimmages for drives at a time and took away Mariota's first read. -- Marc Sessler
