The Tennessee Titans fell to the Buffalo Bills, 34-10, on the road on Sunday in a game that came with some surprises.
The first one was that Will Levis was ruled out with a shoulder injury, leaving Mason Rudolph to start the game. This took even the Bills by surprise as the Titans got out to an early lead.
However, after trailing by three at the half, the Bills head coach Sean McDermott made the necessary adjustments at halftime and the Bills came back to win big.
Despite the loss, the Titans had one player who stood out above the rest this week in rookie cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Brownlee recorded six tackles (five solo), and both of his passes defensed saved the Titans’ defense from allowing a touchdown.
Brownlee Jr. was drafted by the Titans in the fifth round this year, and he has stepped up in a big way. The Titans’ defense has little depth, and Brownlee has proven that he can get the job done in the absence of Chidobe Awuzie.
Brownlee has 13 tackles (12 solo), two passes defensed, and two stuffs on the season.
The Titans were not expected to win in Buffalo today, but watching young players continue to give 100 percent effort through the final whistle is refreshing. Brownlee is one of those players, and that effort paid off today even if it didn’t change the outcome.
