The run started when Tyler Bass booted a 49-yard field goal to give the Bills a 10-7 edge with 7:20 left in the first half. Allen, who passed for 208 yards in the first half, later teamed with Diggs on a 4-yard touchdown pass to make it 17-7 with one minute remaining.
Allen threw a 46-yard scoring pass to Diggs with 10:18 left in the third quarter. Then Tennessee's Kyle Philips muffed a punt and Tyrel Dodson recovered to set up a 37-yard field goal by Bass that increased the lead to 27-7.
Allen and Diggs again teamed up, this time from 14 yards, to increase the lead to 27 with 5:34 left in the third quarter.
Milano's interception and 43-yard return capped the run of consecutive points. It was Milano's second career defensive touchdown.
