C.J. Spiller of the Bills had one of the best days of his career and scored a spectacular touchdown by recovering his own fumble while just barely staying in bounds. But Chris Johnson led the Titans to victory with two touchdowns and 153 yards rushing.

The first series for the Bills was a good indication of the frustration they would face much of the day. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three passes; two were knocked down by the Titans' defensive line and the third was broken up by cornerback Cortland Finnegan. They were then forced to punt to Marc Mariani who gave the Titans excellent field position.

The Titans' offense had difficulty finding a rhythm early, and had to settle for a field goal. Spiller scored his highlight-reel touchdown to give Buffalo the lead. That's when the Tennessee offense really came alive.

A quick scoring drive capped by a 48-yard run by Johnson gave the Titans the lead they never gave up. On their next drive the Bills had a touchdown nullified by a penalty. They then tried to convert on fourth down; Fitzpatrick was stripped of the ball by linebacker Colin McCarthy who then recovered the fumble. Six plays later the Titans turned that into another touchdown.

Johnson finished the day with 153 yards and two touchdowns.

There are some major injury concerns as cornerback Jason McCourty left the game with a concussion and receiver Nate Washington injured his left ankle. The Titans are already thin at both positions.

Stars of the Game
Offense: Chris Johnson
CJ now has Titans' fans wondering "what if." His performance Sunday and last week is what we kept hoping to see.

Defense: Colin McCarthy
I should start calling him "future Pro-Bowler", because this kid has turned out to be the steal of the draft. He again led the team in tackles and had one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

Special Teams: Marc Mariani
He had punt returns of 21, 26 and 23 yards and a return of a short kick that gave the team the ball on the 25-yard line.

Difference Maker: Defensive Line
The big guys up front knocked down four passes, two of the on the Bills' opening drive.

Unsung Hero: Michael Griffin
Even though one of his two forced fumbles was recovered for a Bills score, I've got to give him credit for the strips.
