Bills 35 - Titans 31
The Bills triumph in a manic comeback from well behind. I've got to eat dinner but I'll do a full write-up after.

It took a long time for me to get anything going in this game, as Shane correctly pointed out it was pretty laggy, and I couldn't get into any sort of offensive rhythm early. It showed with the Titans jumping out to leads of 10-0 and then 17-7 before the half. The second half opened with me getting back within a FG after a long drive, but I handed the momentum right back by allowing a kickoff return on the next play. The Bills answered a few minutes later with a long pass to Lee Evans on a fake end around, to cut it to 24-21 after 3. The Titans looked to salt the game away in the 4th however, and scored on a Chris Johnson reception to take a two-score lead. The Bills scored on another long pass, this time on a screen to CJ Spiller with about 3:20 left. Electing to trust their defense, the Bills kicked away and were rewarded soon after when Aaron Maybin scooped up a Chris Johnson fumble and ran it 43 yards to the house to put the Bills up 35-31. The Titans had one last chance and got a drive started before a pick by Ed Reed. The Bills were able to accrue the necessary first downs to run out the clock.
After a slow start, Chris Robinson ended up 17 of 28 for 317 yards, 2 TDs and 2 picks.
CJ Spiller was the star once again for the Bills, carrying 9 times for 64 yards and 2 TDs and adding 6 catches for 110 yards receiving and another score. Lee Evans also went over 100 yards on 3 catches.
Daniel Tushaus was 14 of 24 for 270 yards, 3 TDs and 2 picks. Chris Johnson was bottled up all day, gaining only 21 yards on 11 carries, though he did catch 4 passes for 69 yards and a score to be the Titans' leading receiver.

gg Shane! Sorry about the lag, but it definitely affected me too, it was obvious I had nothing going offensively in the first half aside from one long run by Spiller. Very tough and competitive game, I'm actually quite surprised I was able to come back.
btw, if you're not using Vince Young I might be interested in trading for him (as the Chargers)
