The Buffalo Bills return to Orchard Park to host the 1-4 Tennessee Titans in what has the makings of a blowout.
series is dedicated to breaking down how the Buffalo Bills match up with their opponent in every game of the 2024 NFL season. This series will look at five key matchups: Bills Pass Offense vs. Opponent Pass Defense, Bills Rush Offense vs. Opponent Rush Defense, Bills Pass Defense vs. Opponent Pass Offense, Bills Rush Defense vs. Opponent Rush Offense, and Bills Special Teams vs. Opponent Special Teams.
On Sunday, that quarterback and that wide receiver will take on a Tennessee Titans team that features a sneakily good defense. Coming into this game, they rank 10th in Pass Defense DVOA and first in Pass Yards Against per game . They lean on a really good secondary featuring a solid safety duo of Quandre Diggs and Amani Hooker as well as a corner trio of L’Jarius Sneed , Jarvis Brownlee , and Roger McCreary .
Sweat is all the more important because he keeps the Titans linebackers clean, both of whom have been doing work this season. Both Kenneth Murray and Ernest Jones have 39 tackles through five games, while Murray has four tackles for loss and Jones has three. Each are run-first defenders who excel playing near the line of scrimmage as sure tacklers that make it difficult for opposing runners to consistently pick up yards.
It does get slightly better in the trenches for the Titans though, where they have some seriously up-and-coming players. Both JC Latham and Peter Skoronski were drafted in the first round in 2024 and 2023, respectively, as players with massive upside. They aren’t who Buffalo should look to stunt against this week, as that other side, which features Dillon Radunz and Nicholas Petit-Frere , is significantly less talented and should allow Buffalo to generate a rush.
There is an auxiliary component to the Titans' ground game, and it comes in the form of store-brand Josh Allen, Will Levis. He possesses a similar bravado to Allen when running, the only issue is he lacks the physical ability to finish runs in the same manner. Still, Buffalo will need to occasionally spy Levis, as the way in which the lesser team wins this game is by leaning on Levis on the ground. Levis has 16 rushes for 106 yards on the season as well as nine first downs.
