26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Six matchups to watch during Titans-Bills By Mike B. Herndon By Mike B. Herndon The 3-1 Titans travel to western New York this week to take on the 1-3 Buffalo Bills. Both teams have had very strange starts to the season, but in very different ways. The Titans fought through a rash of early injuries to key players to beat two division rivals and the defending Super Bowlchamps. The Bills opened with a blowout 47-3 loss against the Ravens which prompted an immediate break-glass-in-case-of-emergency call to rookie quarterback Josh Allen. Since making the QB change, Buffalo is 1-2 with the win being the most shocking result of the season as the Bills went on the road and their defense stifled the Vikings on the way to a 27-6 win. This has all the makings of a trap game for Tennessee. On the road against an inferior opponent, coming off an emotional win against the defending champs, big home game against Baltimore looming next week. However, these are games that good teams win and if the Titans don’t sleepwalk through this one that’s exactly what they should do.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Joe B: 5 Things to Watch for in Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans (10/7/18) (WKBW) - The Buffalo Bills, after two straight weeks of being on the road, finally get back to New Era Field for just their second home game of the season. It's the lone break of a grueling stretch on the road, with it being the only reprieve of four away contests over a five-week span. On Sunday, they'll be up against the Tennessee Titans, a team that has found the way to win three of their first four games under a new head coach. Before the season began, it looked like a potentially winnable game for the Bills, but the Titans' hot start has made them the road favorites. Do the Bills have a chance to get back in the win column? Five things to watch for on Sunday: 1) What's next for Allen? How can he bounce back? 2) Wide receiver movement coming? 3) Tre'Davious White's next assignment 4) Attacking Mariota up the middle 5) A switch at safety Injury Report Buffalo QUESTIONABLE: S Rafael Bush (shoulder), TE Charles Clay (ankle), S Micah Hyde (groin) Tennessee OUT: S Kenny Vaccaro (elbow), LB Wesley Woodyard (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE: T Dennis Kelly (illness) Bills Inactives Projection: RB Marcus Murphy, OT Conor McDermott, G Wyatt Teller, G Ike Boettger, CB Dontae Johnson, S Rafael Bush, S Micah Hyde - If the Bills do make Kelvin Benjamin inactive, my hunch is that Murphy would be active from this group. Prediction: Bills over Titans
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Week 5 Mismatches: Titans ready to punish Allen, Conner set for big day Here are four of the most one-sided matchups in Week 5 of the NFL season: Titans' defense vs. Josh Allen To the surprise of many, the Tennessee Titans have beaten two of the NFL's top four teams in the Jaguars and Eagles over the past two weeks. While injuries have somewhat limited the Titans' offense, the defense has been sensational, allowing just 18.3 points per game - the sixth fewest in the league. Next, Tennessee will travel to Buffalo to face Josh Allen and the Bills. Other than when Allen played out of his mind against Minnesota in a surprising Week 3 win, the Buffalo offense has struggled mightily this season, failing to score more than three points in two of four contests. It should be more of the same this weekend.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 From Albert Breer: 10. It’s worth keeping an eye on Titans rookie Harold Landry this week going against a shaky Buffalo line. Tennessee, like everyone else, was aware of the medical concerns surrounding Landry in April, as well as the questions on his motor. But they had connections at Boston College—GM Jon Robinson knows the program well from his decade-and-a-half as a Patriots scout, and coach Mike Vrabel’s son Tyler plays there—and got good info on Landry. They’ve felt all along he was a first-round talent, which is showing now. Bills Today: Playing 'Together as One' the Plan to Stop Mariota
