Bills QB has sprained MCL, could miss multiple games

Rex Ryan admitted Monday that Taylor was beat up after Sunday’s game and has been for a few time…

Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor may have been hurting more than he let on after the team’s 14-13 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Earlier Tuesday, the Bills announced the signing of Josh Johnson, who had recently spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, to serve as an insurance policy. That was the year the Bengals beat the Bills in the AFC title game, 21-10, before losing to Joe Montana and the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Tennessee’s Zach Brown was flagged for a horse collar tackle on the play.

Since their blowout win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, the Titans have now lost three consecutive games, two of which combined for just a three point deficit.

Sure, the mostly partial 65,670 Titans fans -whose pangs of starvation for success grow stronger with each defeat – departed Nissan Stadium once again scratching their heads and dissecting the what ifs.

“We need a win”, Whisenhunt said Monday. This season, the Bills have had more injuries than most teams in the league.

So if Taylor is sidelined for multiple weeks, it’s a major blow to the Bills’ playoff chances. The Bills got the ball back but failed to convert and they too were forced to punt. They settled for a pair of field goals by Ryan Succop and a 1-yard touchdown run by Antonio Andrews.

The Tennessee Titans (1-2) return from their bye this week to host the Buffalo Bills (2-2).

Titans Jurrell Casey and Derrick Morgan each recorded a sack and a half while Avery Williamson finished the game with seven solo tackles and a sack. It’s frustrating. I’m exhausted of having this conversation with y’all. “We just gotta get over the hump”, Mariota said.

Wright, who had a 1,000-yard receiving season in 2013 before Whisenhunt arrived, caught three of the six passes thrown at him. Tyrod Taylor Taylor threw for 274 yards and one touchdown to lead the Bills. Touchdowns win games, at least they did for the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo couldn’t run the ball and quarterback Tyrod Taylor didn’t have success through the air, either.

The first-year starter accounted for 62 yards, including 53 rushing, during an 80-yard touchdown drive he capped with a 22-yard scramble to cut Tennessee’s lead to 10-7. After hitting receiver wide receiver Chris Hogan on a 46-yard completion, the Bills soon took the lead for good with 5:30 to play.

-RUN DEFENSE: B-minus. The Titans were helped by the fact that LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams were out with injuries.

Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt likes Wright, and he needs him for the offense to be successful moving forward. “We’re close, but we’re not quite there”.

The Bills’ starting quarterback could miss time, which would force backup EJ Manuel into duty. “To come back into the game, to still be making plays, to still be able to stay focused while being injured, a lot of times that’s very hard to do at the quarterback position”.
