The Titans lead the all-time series between these two franchises 25-16. The Titans are 13-6 at home against the Bills and have won the last two meetings. These two franchises have also played two of the more memorable postseason games in NFL history. Luckily for me I wasn't and Oiler fan when the Bills had the amazing comeback so my postseason memories are nothing but pleasant against the Bills. (And yes, it was absolutely a lateral before that debate starts here.)
Buffalo Rumblings has a breakdown of the last 5 regular season meetings here.
We will once again be treated to Ian Eagle and Rich Gannon on the CBS Broadcast.
Here are the notes on the game sent out by the NFL office:

Like other catrastrophies, disasters, and other notably horrific historic events.
As an Oilers/Titans fan for 30+ years I still remember exactly where I was when that game you speak of happened.
I also know and remember exactly where I was when the MCM happened. Ironic that both involved the Bills.
I feel you Titan9, I remember where I was for both games. When we gave up the 32 pt lead, I was at a friends house who wanted to turn the game off at the half to play Madden 92’ of all things. I told him forget it. We had blown a 21 pt lead to John Elway and the broncos the year before and I didn’t trust us after starting equally fast this game. I was definitely haunted by that game and of course the horrible no-calls in which the refs helped blow the game along with us bungling ourselves. Every game since if we start giving up a sizeable lead (see texans game in 07’ I think)it brings back those bad vibes. For the MCM, I was at my house and when the bills scored and it looked like it was over with 16 sec left I remember turning to my wife and saying We have one more chance. We finally got that revenge 7 years later and it was served COLD!
“46”
Ah yes, the Buffalo Bills....
I hope that most of you are too young to remember the debacle that went down as the biggest CHOKE in NFL history. We were up 35-3 at the half, and I was already trying to buy Super Bowl tickets…and I couldn’t WAIT to see Warren Moon & all those speedy little recievers lay the wood to the Cowgirls!! And then…what happened next….scarred me for life. It was the second most painful thing I’ve ever had to endure in my life (the 1st, in case anybody cares…was losing the State Championship baseball game…with yours truly on the mound). Now I know what you’re thinking…“and he’s STILL a fan”? What I tell you boys, I coined the phrase “Luv Ya Blue”.

BUT....
then came the MCM!!! Finally, I got my revenge. I guess it’s true, “everything that goes around comes around”.

I remember it well
I still think there should have been a pass interference call on Moon’s int in overtime.
That was the first and only time that a sporting event has made me feel sick to my stomach.

Yeah it does
but not as much as that Buffalo loss. Maybe I’ve just been de-sensitized after witnessing that choke.

not diminishing your pain
but would have loved to have made it to the big dance 4 times

Do you think we see a trick play in this game?

I don't think it will be needed.
We should win this straight up.

Bills are suckers to trick plays
watch Vince play action to CJ and hiding the ball under his jersey and then watch him walk to the end zone for the TD.

thats the thing
in all likelihood this will be the game where V10 throws (at least) 1 int. It happens to many good qbs. Favres struggled with them, Warners struggled with them, even many people here’s golden boy Jay Cutler has multi-int stunkbombs. I want to see the reaction if, no, when, this does happen.
NOT CUTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
