Bills blow out Titans as Eagles fly past Vikings during Monday Night Football
Orchard Park, New York / Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs connected for three touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills moved to 2-0 for the third time in the past four seasons with a 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans on Monday. The Philadelphia Eagles also triumphed over the Minnesota Vikings.
The Bills blew away the Titans after leading 10-7 in the second quarter, with Allen finishing the game with four touchdown passes, completing 26 of 38 passes for 317 yards with no interceptions.
Diggs got on the end of three of those, including a 46-yard third-quarter hand cannon, having 12 receptions for 148 yards. Allen has contributed to four or more TDs in each of his past four games, including playoffs.
Buffalo's win means they have won six straight regular-season games, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. It is also the Bills' NFL-best, their 13th 14-point-plus win over the past two seasons, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next best with eight.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill, who was benched late, threw 11 of 20 passes for 117 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, including a Matt Milano pick six.
The Bills will face the 2-0 Miami Dolphins in Week 3, with three of their next four games on the road.
