Buffalo Bills come from behind to beat Tennessee Titans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 11 -- After struggling just to gain first downs for most of three quarters, Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor brought his team from behind.

Leading two 80-yard second-half touchdown drives, Taylor rallied Buffalo to a 14-13 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

Taylor's 22-yard scramble with 1:20 left in the third quarter pulled the Bills within 10-7. They hadn't crossed midfield during the game until Taylor's 26-yard run got them to the Tennessee 26 two plays before the touchdown.

After a drive of nearly seven minutes led to a 41-yard field goal at the 9:36 mark of the fourth quarter by placekicker Ryan Succop to give the Titans a 13-7 edge, Buffalo leaned on Taylor again.

His 24-yard scramble on third-and-23 at the 7, teamed with a 15-yard penalty on linebacker Zach Brown for a horse-collar tackle, got the Bills to the 46. Three plays after connecting with wide receiver Chris Hogan for a 47-yard gain, Taylor hooked up with Hogan for a 2-yard scoring strike with 5:25 remaining for the winning score.

Taylor finished 10 of 17 for 109 yards and also rushed for a game-high 76 yards on eight attempts as the Bills improved to 3-2 and beat Tennessee (1-3) for the first time in seven games, dating back to 2000.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was 21-of-32 passing for 187 yards and rushed for a team-high 47 yards on five carries but was intercepted with 1:32 left by cornerback Stephon Gilmore, ending their last chance at a win.

Succop's 21-yard field goal 51 seconds into the second quarter was the only scoring in a first half dominated by the Titans. They outgained Buffalo 170-51, holding the ball for 20 minutes and 56 seconds.

Running back Antonio Andrews gave the Titans a 10-0 lead with 6:51 left in the third quarter on a 1-yard plunge. It came seven plays after wide receiver Denarius Moore fumbled at the end of a 27-yard punt return, with Tennessee linebacker Steve Johnson recovering.
