Game Thread: Bills @ Titans 6PM CST - First Tuesday Night Game Ever?

[Sharkonabicycle]

@Moab get the F in here... man. This might be the first Tuesday night game in NFL history, can anyone do a quick fact check? Either way, two undefeated teams, pending a tie someone is going to head home with a loss. Should be a good one.

When was the last time the NFL played a game on Tuesday?​

A Tuesday NFL game has happened before, but it is quite rare.

The Week 5 game between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills has been rescheduled from Sunday to Tuesday — that is, as long as the Titans don’t receive any more positive COVID-19 tests, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

To say that NFL games taking place on a Tuesday is rare would be an understatement. In fact, it has only happened twice in the last 74 years.

According to ESPN’s Turron Davenport, who cites ESPN Stats & Info and the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time an NFL game took place on a Tuesday was in 2010, when the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings met Dec. 28 after their game was moved due to a blizzard.

Prior to that, the last NFL game played on a Tuesday took place on Oct. 1, 1946, when the New York Giants-Boston Yanks game was pushed back because of rain.

Allen needs to go off tonight but the Titans need to win, which I don't see happening

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Bills-Titans remains scheduled for Tuesday night after Tennessee reported no new positive COVID-19 tests from Monday's round of testing.​

The gamble for anyone who kept their Bills and Titans players in their Week 5 lineups pays off. Buffalo is currently in Nashville and, with no new positive tests for either side, will kick-off at approximately 7pm ET Tuesday.

Is it me or should this become a regular thing


Screw Thursday night football. Tuesday night sounds way better

I need Allen and Jonnu to go off and the Bills defense to play mediocre at best. A shootout would be great

Yeah, the NFL is getting to test out all kinds of wacky scheduling quirks this year. I'm not gonna complain

Rare, but it has occurred before.

Bills WR John Brown (calf) is inactive for Week 5 against the Titans.​

As is No. 2 RB Zack Moss (toe). Both players were considered genuinely questionable to suit up, though Brown seemed to be in the clear after a week of limited practices. His absence frees up more targets for both Cole Beasley and impressive rookie Gabriel Davis. Beasley will be a floor option with Davis offering ceiling. Also inactive for the Bills are QB Jake Fromm, LB Matt Milano, TE Lee Smith, OG Quinton Spain and CB Tre’Davious White.

A.J. Brown (knee) is active for Week 5 against the Bills.​

It will be Brown's first appearance since his 5/39 Week 1 against the Broncos. Brown was perhaps the only person to come out of the Titans' COVID-19 outbreak ahead, as it limited him to two absences instead of three. With Corey Davis and Adam Humphries both on the COVID-19 list, Brown has a nice target floor as a WR3 with WR1 upside. Inactive for the Titans are CB Kristian Fulton, OLB Kamalei Correa, OLB Derick Roberson and OL Daniel Munyer.

I need 24 points from Singletary tonight to win in FF......."Do you believe in miracles?"........no!

 

[DJ]

That's the WR's fault.....

I am fucked I need John Brown to get at least 18 and for Henry to get 0 to have a chance
