In the NFL last night…
• Derrick Henry’s third touchdown of the night, with three minutes remaining, gave the Tennessee Titans a 34-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills. A late Buffalo drive ended at the Tennessee one yard line, where the Bills went for the touchdown on fourth down, instead of kicking a field goal to force overtime. Josh Allen was stopped short on a quarterback sneak to seal the win for the Titans.
