‘“Overall in the second half, it really just became about good, sound fundamental football,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott. “Nothing fancy. Everyone doing their job.”’

In his Buffalo Bills debut, receiver Amari Cooper shines
‘“He’s really impressive, a great player,” Cooper said of Allen. “Had the opportunity to watch him obviously through the television, for quite some time now. He’s had his, I believe, his 100th start today seems like he had 100 amazing performances. So, I guess this was no different. He went out there, he did his thing like he usually does. But he’s a phenomenal player, for sure.”’

How can the Bills take care of business vs. Tennessee Titans? Here are 4 keys to a Buffalo win
‘Levis, the Titans’ second-year quarterback out of Kentucky (by way of Penn State), has had his share of struggles. He has thrown more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (five) this year. He’s had three fumbles on top of that. The Bills should not only take advantage of his propensity for turnovers, they should play aggressively to force them. Levis isn’t scared of being hit. As a rookie, he was hit on 25.5% of dropbacks last season – and no one else in the NFL was above 20.5%. Levis has been shaky, and he doesn’t always take advantage of the short gains in front of him. The right side of the offensive line is penetrable. The Bills should fluster Levis and feast on his miscues.’
Bills-Titans numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's game vs. Tennessee
‘32% – That’s the success rate of offenses on third down against the Titans’ defense, which ranks Tennessee fifth-best in the league. The Bills’ offense still stands a lowly 24th on third down at 34%.’
Bills-Titans: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday's game
‘Here’s a statistical oddity: The Bills are giving up over 100 more yards per game than the Titans (350.8 to 248.8), but allowing one point per game less (22.0 to 21.0). Offensively, the Bills are scoring 27.5 points per game, compared with just 19.2 per game for Tennessee. Bills coach Sean McDermott historically has feasted on inexperienced quarterbacks, and the Titans’ Will Levis is making just his 15th career start. Levis has thrown more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (five) this season. Bills Mafia should be at its loudest with the team home for the first time in a month. If Levis is flustered into some early turnovers, look out. This one could get away from Tennessee quickly. Book Amari Cooper for a touchdown as the home crowd enjoys a comfortable win.’

Buffalo Bills will face off against Titans’ backup quarterback on Sunday
‘Buffalo is no stranger to Rudolph. Buffalo last faced off against the veteran quarterback in the Wild Card round of the playoffs last year when he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Five Takes: Bills back home as they prepare for Week 7 matchup with Titans; Will Cooper make an impact?
‘Being back home should provide a boost for quarterback Josh Allen and company. Allen already mentioned his transition back to a normal cadence this week and what that can mean for an offense. For the past three weeks, the Bills QB has been forced to lift his leg to signal a silent cadence while playing in front of raucous road crowds. Now, having control of the home fans, Allen will be free to open up the use of the hard count and also be permitted to direct traffic at the line of scrimmage much more seamlessly than he has over the past few weeks on the road.’
