Reasons the Titans Can Win Against Each AFC Playoff Team
By Brady Akins
Buffalo Bills
Another AFC playoff team the Titans got a chance against this season are the Buffalo Bills. If they meet in the playoffs, Tennessee would get a chance to avenge a loss that happened in large part thanks to four missed field goals.
The Titans were within one score of Buffalo the entire game, and that was before their offensive remodel. In the unlikely scenario where these two wildcard teams meet in the playoffs, the Bills will be tasked with stopping a Tennessee offense much more explosive than the one they faced in Week 5.
If the Titans can keep pace with the standard their offense has set since Ryan Tannehill became the starting quarterback, Buffalo could have a tough time keeping up.
The Bills feature an offense that ranks 23rd in points per game with 19.6, and has failed to score more than 20 points since November. Meanwhile, Tennessee hasn’t scored under 20 points since Oct. 13.
Buffalo does have one of the NFL’s best scoring defenses, but at the rate the Titans have been scoring since these two teams last played, it would be hard not to expect more of a fight from Tennessee on offense. With how underwhelming the Bills scoring offense has been in the last month, even an average game on offense from the Titans might be more than enough to secure a win.
