After starting the season 0-2, the Bengals have won seven of their last nine games, the latest against the Titans on the road.
The Bengals went all the way to the Super Bowl last season, with one of their playoff pitstops coming right here at Nissan Stadium. Yet without two of their best players – wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and running back Joe Mixon – Burrow & Co. came back to the place as rock-solid underdogs.
Sunday marked the first time this season that Cincinnati didn’t score at least 27 points in a victory – and in their previous four triumphs, they scored 37, 42, 35 and 30 points.“One thing this team took to heart was how physical they heard this game was going to be,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. “That’s a credit to Tennessee. That’s how they play. But our guys answered the bell.”
And we know how it is with the Titans. Contain Henry’s running and you’re playing with house money by putting it on quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Surely, it was a group effort as Cincinnati clogged the lanes and won the battle in the trenches to leave little daylight for Henry. Yet Hilton’s plays symbolized the underdog vibe.
“I tell people, I just look like this,” Hilton told USA TODAY Sports. “Turn on my tape, watch me play. I show physicality. For a guy my size, there’s not too many around the league like me.” In addition to thwarting Henry, the Bengals defense stiffened at its own end, yielding just one TD to the Titans on three red zone trips . Meanwhile, with Mixon out while recovering from a concussion, backup Samaje Perine rushed for 58 hard yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. And remember how much of a liability that Bengals O-line was early in the season? Well, it has improved to the point that it is no longer drawing heat.
