Jornal Do Brasilia - Allen, Diggs spark Bills in Titans rout

Bills quarterback Allen was at his swaggering best in an emphatic win for Buffalo, finishing with 317 passing yards from 26-of-38 completions.

The win made it two wins out of two for Buffalo, who opened the season with a 31-10 drubbing of the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams earlier this month.

But Monday's victory was tinged with concern after a first-half injury to cornerback Dane Jackson, who was carted off the field before being taken to hospital with a neck injury.

Jackson was involved in a sickening accidental collision with teammate Tremaine Edmunds just before half-time.

Jackson's head was snapped back violently in the clash. The Bills later revealed Jackson was being evaluated in hospital but reported that the defensive back had full movement in his extremities.

Earlier, the Bills took the lead with the opening drive of the game, Allen finding fullback Reggie Gilliam with a short pass to cap a 14-play 75-yard scoring drive.

The Titans responded with a touchdown of their own when running back Derrick Henry blasted over from close range at the end of the first quarter.

But the Bills took over thereafter, going 10-7 up with a 49-yard Tyler Bass field goal before Allen then connected with Stefon Diggs with a four-yard touchdown reception to make it 17-7 after the extra point.

The Allen-Diggs axis yielded another touchdown early in the third quarter, with Allen launching a 46-yard strike to find the Bills receiver for his second touchdown of the night.

A further Bass field goal stretched Buffalo’s lead to 27-7 midway through the third quarter before Allen and Diggs combined once again for their third touchdown to make it 34-7.

Linebacker Matt Milano picked off Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill for a 43-yard pick six to complete the scoring.
