Buffalo Bills: 3 Teams they may want to avoid on Wild Card Weekend
Tennessee Titans (8-4), 1st AFC South
Imagine a playoff game in snowy Orchard Park, NY on a late afternoon in January. The wind is blowing, it’s freezing outside, and all 6’3,” 247 pounds of Derrick Henry, are running 20 miles-per-hour in your direction. No defender wants to be Josh Norman on national television. But this scenario could be on the horizon if the Titans happen to lose their lead in the AFC South.
Along with Henry, the Titans rarely turn the ball over on offense. They are capable of slowing games down with their ability to run the ball- which is evident by their 6-1 record in one-score games this season. The Titans don’t make mistakes. And any team that is capable of playing mistake-free, successfully running the football, and controlling the clock could pose a challenge for Buffalo’s defense in the first round of the playoffs.
The playoff picture won’t be clear until all the games are played. So we may not know Buffalo’s first-round matchup for a few more weeks. Buffalo has shown some frailty defending the run and the teams listed here thrive running the ball.
If the Bills are already making reservations for the Divisional Round, they may want to avoid these teams on Wild Card weekend.
