LAST WEEK AGAINST THE BENGALS

The Titans hosted the Cincinnati Bengals last week. In a game that included a combined 10 turnovers and 26 penalties, the Bengals prevailed by a final score of 37-27.

The Titans offense established season highs in touchdowns (four), first downs (25), third-down percentage (62.5) and net passing yards (291). The unit scored touchdowns on all four of its red-zone possessions, marking the team’s first game with four or more red-zone touchdowns since a win at Green Bay on Nov. 17, 2022.

The Titans defense generated three of the team’s four takeaways against the Bengals. Linebacker Luke Gifford and safety Daryl Worley provided interceptions, while nose tackle T’Vondre Sweat forced and recovered a fumble. The Bengals also fumbled the ball through the end zone for a touchback. It marked the team’s first game with four or more takeaways in a game since doing so in a win against Jacksonville on Dec. 12, 2021 (four interceptions).

Quarterback Mason Rudolph entered the contest against Cincinnati in the third quarter after Levis registered the start. Rudolph’s statistics included 21-of-26 passing for 209 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 109.8 passer rating was the fifth-best number of his career.
