The Buffalo Bills face a motivated Tennessee Titans team on Monday night from Highmark Stadium. The star-studded game is the second-straight week of prime time play for the Bills after beating the Los Angeles Rams, while the Titans look to bounce-back from a loss to the New York Giants.

Quarterback Josh Allen has become one of the league's premier dual-threat signal-callers as he begins what could be a MVP-caliber season. The Bills' electric offense also features Devin Singletary at running back and Stefon Diggs at wide receiver.

Buffalo's stout defense will be tested by one of the best running backs in the league in Tennessee's Derrick Henry. The Bills can't look past Henry, despite his quiet 82 rushing yards in the Titans' 21-20 loss to the Giants. The Bills look to continue their dominance on defense after allowing the fewest points and yards in the NFL under defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier last season, including ranking first against the pass.
