Monday Night Observations

This article is part of our NFL Observations series.

I had an especially keen interest in this game since Titans +5.5 was my best bet. The game played out more or less how I had expected with the Bills moving the ball all day, and the Titans bludgeoning them with the unstoppable force. Of course, the Bills probably win outright if Josh Allen doesn't slip near the two yard line, but the Titans still would have covered (unless it went to overtime) which was the important thing. 

  • Josh Allen (45 passes, nine runs) was worth whatever pick you spent to acquire him. The Bills are so pass heavy and also design runs for him.
  • Stefon Diggs (11-9-89-1) had his best fantasy output of the year. It will be hard to keep up with last year's pace, but he's getting his looks. Cole Beasley (9-7-88-1) and Emmanuel Sanders (8-5-91-0) get theirs more often than not too.
  • Ryan Tannehill was under pressure for much of the night, but made some good throws on key third downs. Better days are ahead with A.J. Brown back.
  • Speaking of whom Brown (9-7-91-0) came back from an illness and had a big second half. Jones (5-3-59-0) had a more modest role.
  • Derrick Henry (20-143-3, 3-2-15-0) will go down as one of the league's all-time great running backs. He had 784 carries from 2019-20 including the playoffs and seems none the worse for the wear.
