Cincinnati Bengals Preview
The Bengals recently had success against the Los Angeles Rams 19-16 with Joe Burrow back in the lineup. This was their first win of the season and they are poised for another with good momentum.
They consistently maintain an average of 257 total yards per game, with 187.7 yards attributed to their passing game. On the defensive side, they find themselves conceding 371.7 yards to their opponents, of which 220 are due to passing plays. While their offense displays improvement in each game, their defense still falls short of its potential.
Burrow is in the process of recovering from a calf injury, which kept him out of training camp. However, his first substantial test came against the Rams, and he exhibited promising signs of progress. With a quarterback rating of 38.5, he currently ranks 28th in the league, having thrown for 563 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
They are presently averaging 15.3 points per game while allowing 22.3. It is anticipated that this will change for the better once Burrow can lead the offense at full strength, which may come to fruition in the upcoming matchup.
Tennessee Titans Preview
The Titans suffered a 27-3 defeat to the Cleveland Browns, which is almost the same way the Bengals lost to the Browns. This put them back on the losing side after previously winning their matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
They consistently produce an average of 273 yards per game, with an impressive 182.7 yards coming from their adept passing abilities. Conversely, their defense concedes an average of 369 total yards, with a significant 299.7 yards stemming from their opponents’ passing plays. Their success hinges on pressuring Burrow into making errors, given their unreliable defense.
At the moment, Quarterback Ryan Tannehill holds the league’s lowest QBR at 28.2. He has accumulated 548 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. To have a chance at victory, he needs to ignite their offensive performance.
They maintain an average of 15 points per game but allow 22.3 points, creating an unfavorable ratio that they must address to improve. Any changes to their defense, as well as their offense, might work in their favor to win.
