Tennessee Titans stroll past Buffalo Bills in Covid-rescheduled match

The hosts remain undefeated while the New York side suffered their first loss of the season.

THE TENNESSEE TITANS made their comeback from a coronavirus outbreak which hit their players and support staff with an easy 42-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Nashville.

Ryan Tannehill was impressive for the hosts, the quarterback throwing three touchdowns as he passed for 195 yards while rushing for 42 yards and another score.

Tennessee’s recently-poor defence stepped up with two interceptions against in-form Buffalo signal-caller Josh Allen, who they also limited to 263 passing yards.

The Titans’ Derrick Henry made the play of the night, and the one that sent broadcast commentators and those on Twitter into a frenzy, in the second quarter when the running back faced down cornerback Josh Norman.

Norman attempted to stop Henry from reaching a first down but was met with a stiff shove from the defending league rushing champion which sent the Buffalo player flying.

The Titans remain undefeated at 4-0 while the Bills suffered their first loss and will next take on the reigning Super Bowl winners the Kansas City Chiefs, who will be out for blood after falling 40-32 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

    Some dire stuff from Cork so far. Aimless balls down the field. They’ll need to improve drastically in the second half or this will be a rout

    Early test of both teams ambition for the season. Nothing like the clash of the ash to kick off the summer.

    Just been a pitch invasion by the Tipp supporters at the final whistle in Thurles. Where are the horse mounted police? Greyhounds even.

    Cork really poor. The score is actually flattering should be down by more. Hopefully it will be a closer second half

    Tipp’s full forward line is going to take some stopping of we’re going to get a result. Can never write us off in championship though, Rebels abú.

    I never thought I would see the day when Cork hurling would hit such a low point even Kerry are putting in more professional performances.
    No point having millions in the bank and no talent coming forward.

    The OAP’S in county board.

    we’ll need I say anymore!!!!!
