Two Bills Drive

‘Tennessee’s 28 points were the most scored in the last six games against Buffalo, which had the NFL’s No. 2-rated defense going in.’

‘Mason returned five punts in the game for an average of 11.8 yards. He also returned five kickoffs for a total of 106 yards.’

‘Bulluck’s sack, forced fumble, and fumble recovery against Drew Bledsoe with 6:16 remaining in the third quarter gave the Titans the spark they desperately needed in their 28-26 victory over Buffalo on Sunday.’

‘What can you say about Billy’s (Volek) effort? That is a very tough defense to throw against. Billy hung in there and took a lot of hits. He made big plays. When you are not 100 percent, everybody has to step up, and that is what we got. Billy got a lot of help today and proved he is worthy of that backup spot and he can play in the league.’

‘The Titans improved to 4-1 in their last five games vs. Buffalo, dating back to their 28-17 win in 1995.’

‘"We didn’t make enough plays in the second half to finish the game. They were able to make a couple significant plays. I thought Derek Mason made a couple big time plays. Those were difference making plays in the second half. Our guys fought to the bitter end. Coming down there we had to stop them at the two minute drill with only one time out left. We got off the field and Drew (Bledsoe) took us down the field and Bobby Shaw made some nice plays. We weren’t able to come up with that tie play at the end."’

‘"It’s frustrating because I’ve been here for eight years. I’m looking for the answers and I can’t seem to find any so we’ll come up with some."’

‘"I had it. It came out as I was showing them. The whole time I had the ball all the way on the ground. He called it incomplete. I was trying to show him that I had it because I was low. As far as I’m concerned it’s a very bad call. How he can say I had possession the whole time I’m sliding then I roll over I’m already down. How long do I have to have it? I was trying to show him the ball before he ruled it incomplete. Bad call on my thoughts."’

‘"We just weren’t able to get in a good rhythm today."’

‘"We lost. We have two games left. We’ll just go out there work as hard as we can and try to win those."’

‘Last Touchdown Play: "They put me one-on-one with the safety. In weeks past we’ve seen them take the safety and play inside techniques so we felt like the corner out would be there. They played it today. The safety was a little outside. Fortunately I was able to get behind him right at the corner and Drew (Bledsoe) made a perfect pass."’

‘The Bills are now 6-and-8 and have two more meaningless games. Next week at home against Miami and a week from Satruday in New England. It’s two more weeks of wondering what could’ve been and what is in store for the future.’

‘Buffalo had one last chance to force overtime when Drew Bledsoe drove the Bills 81 yards in nine plays before finding Mark Campbell on a 6-yard TD toss with 24 seconds left. But Bobby Shaw couldn’t control a low pass in the right corner on the 2-point conversion try, and Erron Kinney recovered the Bills’ onside kick to clinch the victory.’

‘Billy Volek filled in for Steve McNair, but the Tennessee Titans didn’t need a "Music City Miracle" to beat the Buffalo Bills.’
