Can Tennessee Titans Turn the Tide After a Tough Outing Against Buffalo Bills?
In a challenging Week 7 matchup, the Tennessee Titans faced off against the Buffalo Bills, resulting in a 10-34 defeat for the Titans. This game brought the Titans' season record to 1-5, while the Bills improved to 5-2. Despite their efforts, Tennessee struggled to find their rhythm at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, before an audience of 70,842 attendees.
Titans' Performance Highlights
The game was tough on Tennessee from start to finish. Quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 25 out of his 40 attempts for a total of 215 yards through the air and managed to throw one touchdown against one interception. His performance yielded an average of just over five yards per attempt and a passer rating of 74.5 percent.
On the ground, running back Tony Pollard led with 61 rushing yards on sixteen carries but couldn't find his way into the end zone. Julius Chestnut contributed with fifteen yards over three attempts and had two redzone opportunities that unfortunately did not result in points.
The receiving corps saw some action as well; Chig Okonkwo caught four passes for fifty yards leading in receiving yardage for his team while Nick Westbrook-Ikhine secured two receptions including one that resulted in Tennessee's only touchdown of the game.
Defensive Efforts
Defensively, Amani Hooker stood out by forcing a fumble although it didn't lead to turnover points for Tennessee. Darrell Baker Jr., alongside Jarvis Brownlee Jr., contributed significantly with five tackles each; Brownlee also defended two passes effectively during critical moments.
Special teams had mixed results; punter Ryan Stonehouse averaged fifty-three net yards across five punts demonstrating strong leg power but ultimately it wasn’t enough to shift field position advantageously consistently throughout the match.
