#OffseasonContent is BACK for 2022, baby! This time of year, there isn’t a whole hell of a lot going on in terms of real meaningful football. So, we take this opportunity to rewind the clock and dive into a bit of Tennessee Titans history. One thing – we pick a rivalry to dissect each summer. Last year, it was the Baltimore Ravens, given how the 2020 season ended, and how the rivalry had been renewed with a few hotly contested bouts in 2019 and 2020. This year, Outspoken Owen Reed and I are taking a look at a rivalry I’d say is a little underrated in the current landscape of the NFL: the Titans and the Buffalo Bills.
Sure, it’s two small market teams that the broader nation doesn’t really give two shits about. But, smart football fans know that over the last few seasons, this contest has had major ramifications on the AFC playoff race. They’ve become blue bloods of the conference again, and the next chapter of this story will be written on Monday Night Football in Week 2 of the upcoming season.
So, what better summer to look back at this rivalry? We’ll talk about some of the classic games of the 80s and 90s that Owen and I are both too young to remember, how a deflating playoff loss to the Bills might’ve even had something to do with Bud Adams moving the Oilers to Nashville, Vince Young, double birds, the covid game, and of course, Buffalo wings vs. Nashville hot chicken.
It’s not the heated, personal rivalry that we’ve come to expect with the Ravens, but these two teams have sort of quietly developed a strong competitive rivalry. Each of these franchises is firmly woven as apart of the fabric of the AFC contenders. Do you have a favorite moment from this Bills-Titans rivalry? Let us know in the comments.
