Tennessee Titans Cheap Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , 13-12, on the back of an outstanding performance from their their defense. The Bills kept the Titans behind schedule and controlled the line of scrimmage with a run-obsessed gameplan, finishing with a game-winning field goal by Stephen Hauschka as the game expired.The Buffalo defense suffocated the Titans for most of the day. They had three turnovers, kept Tennessee out of the end zone, and limited the Titans to 221 yards of total offense. Marcus Mariota was 14-of-26 for 129 yards (5.0 yards per attempt) and an interception. The Titans runners combined for 100 yards on 25 carries. Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes each had a sack. Hughes would’ve had two, but he shoved Mariota to try and avoid a roughing the passer penalty, which backfired when Mariota didn’t lose his balance.The Bills treated Josh Allen with kid gloves in this game, running at more than a 2:1 ratio compared to his passes. It was a good idea too, considering Tennessee’s stout defense. The Bills really struggled to break big plays, with their longest result of the day a 16 yard run from LeSean McCoy. Allen scored a rushing touchdowns and generally made smart decisions most of the day, but rarely attempted to attack the Titans defense. He threw for fewer than five yards per attempt, and though it wasn’t his fault, Allen had an interception bounce off Andre Holmes into the hands of a defender. The big plays weren’t available, but that was enough for today’s win.The other side of Buffalo’s treatment was their stronger commitment to LeSean McCoy and the running game. McCoy had more rushing attempts in this game than he had in the rest of the season to this point. the Titans defense mostly contained him, but he still produced more than 100 all-purpose yards. The Bills finished with an unsexy 43 carries for 144 yards and a Josh Allen touchdown.At 2-3, the Bills climbed out of the AFC’s basement, and preserved Sean McDermott’s winning record for at least two more weeks (the head coach is now 11-10 with the Buffalo Bills).NotesNew waiver addition Jordan Phillips had a good day Authentic Marcus Murphy Jersey , in on two tackles for loss.Rookie Taron Johnson netted his first career interception.Rookie Tremaine Edmunds had his second career forced fumble. Shaq Lawson and Jerry Hughes also forced fumbles on the day, and the Bills recovered two of those three.Corey Bojorquez appeared to injure his upper arm, but it didn’t impact his punting. He downed his next kick within the five yard line.Ray-Ray McCloud all but iced the game on his second career catch with a bubble screen for a first down at the end of the fourth quarter.This was the first game-winning drive of Josh Allen’s career.Bojorquez was the only notable injury to come out of this game in real time. The Buffalo Bills need help at wide receiver. When Andre Holmes is playing meaningful snaps and Kelvin Benjamin isn’t gaining separation, you need to help your quarterbacks out a little bit. Here are some candidates, why they make sense, and why they don’t make sense as we approach the NFL’s trade deadline this afternoon.Demaryius Thomas, Denver BroncosIt makes sense because:Thomas is due a change of scenery after spending his career in Denver. Asked about a trade on Monday, the soon-to-be 31-year-old acknowledge as much. The Broncos want his salary gone.It doesn’t make sense because:The Bills are playing for 2019 now, and at $14 million in base salary, it will be hard to keep the aging receiver on the roster even with the massive cap space Buffalo possesses. If he can’t be part of the long-term, I’m not sure why they would add him.Thomas was traded to the Houston Texans for a 4th round pick and a swap of 7th rounders.DeVante Parker, Miami DolphinsIt makes sense because:A former first round pick, Parker is entering the prime of his career and is still under contract in 2019. Buffalo gets a one-year look to see if he can become the receiver he was drafted to be. He has fallen out of favor in Miami, and was benched prior to injuries forcing Adam Gase’s hand. It doesn’t make sense because:Miami would probably take a lower offer from a team outside the AFC East, so Buffalo would have to overpay for him. He’s topped out at 744 yards and four touchdowns, and his production has steadily declined. He’s injury-prone.DeSean Jackson, Tampa Bay BuccaneersIt makes sense because:Sean McDermott and LeSean McCoy know him from the Philadelphia Eagles and he’s under contract in 2019 White Lorenzo Alexander Jersey , and could provide a bridge to a rookie WR. He’s averaging 22.8 yards per catch in 2018 despite being 32. He’s also asked for a trade.It doesn’t make sense because:He’s due $10 million next year and more than $5.5 million remaining this season. He asked for a trade from the struggling Bucs, so he probably won’t be happy going to a worse passing offense. Golden Tate, Detroit LionsIt makes sense because:Detroit has some up-and-comers waiting in the wings they want to give some snaps to. He’s coming off back-to-back 1000-yard seasons and three in four years and is on pace for another. He could also help mentor Zay Jones and the rest of a young receivers room.It doesn’t make sense because:Tate is going to be a free agent at the end of the year and is 30.Tate was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third round pick.Emmanuel Sanders, Denver BroncosIt makes sense because:Like his teammate Thomas, Sanders is due a change of scenery from Denver, who is in a selling mood. He is under contract for 2019, which is helpful for the Bills who might not be able to attract a free agent. He’s back on track after a slow 2017 season.It doesn’t make sense because:Sanders is already 31 and due $10 million in 2019. Pierre Garcon, San Francisco 49ersIt makes sense because:He’s under contract for the foreseeable future with a consistent track record.It doesn’t make sense because:Dude is 32 and on a steep decline.Mohamed Sanu, Atlanta FalconsIt makes sense because:Calvin Ridley has made Sanu expendable in Atlanta, who is falling behind in a strong NFC North. Sanu’s targets have fallen dramatically in 2018 and his lack of long-term production could make him a bargain on the trade market. Injuries and salary have piled up for Atlanta, putting them in a selling mood. Sanu is already under contract for two more seasons, and could bridge the gap to a 2019 rookie receiver.It doesn’t make sense because:I’m struggling to find a downside here. Buffalo has the cap space to overpay a guy like Sanu. but his cap hit is still really manageable. (He’s owed $6 million in 2019 and $6.5 million in 2020 plus about $3 million in 2018.) He’s been on successful offenses, but if Buffalo gets into a bidding war and his price jumps up higher than a mid-round pick, it could get dicey. Maybe Shaq Lawson becomes part of a potential deal, though...
