In a battle of AFC heavyweights, the Bills struck first in their Monday night matchup against the visiting Titans. Buffalo, fired up by its cheering crowd inside Highmark Stadium, took a 17-7 lead into intermission.
Both teams scored in their first game. The Bills took a quick 7-0 lead on Reggie Gilliam’s 11-yard touchdown reception. The Titans responded with Derrick Henry finding pay dirt from two yards out. However, Henry didn’t have much success the rest of the half as he ran for just 12 yards on eight carries.
With Henry neutralized, the Bills dominated the second quarter. They regained the lead on Tyler Bass’ 49-yard field goal midway through the quarter. After Buffalo’s defense forced a quick three-and-out, Josh Allen, who threw for 203 yards in the first half, hit Jake Kumerow for a 40-yard strike before the two-minute mark. The big play set up Allen’s four-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs that extended Buffalo’s lead to double digits.
