After a disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Titans head to 2-0 Cincinnati looking to get back in the win column.
Jake Locker looked better than he did all last week, putting together a potential scoring drive to open up the game, but a Ryan Succop missed field goal kept Tennessee off the board early.
He did set up the Bengals offense with a score after throwing an interception deep in his own territory.
The shutout was not completely on Locker - he finished the first half with 91 yards and 45 yards rushing - but two missed field goals and a holding penalty on the punt team in the endzone put Tennessee in a hole early.
Andy Dalton had success with his top receiver AJ Green healthy and active after sustaining a turf toe injury last week.
They connected for four catches and 78 yards in the half.
The biggest play of the half was a touchdown reception by Andy Dalton, scoring on a Mohamed Sanu pass on a trick play.
On the ground, Gio Bernard added a modest 21 yards and a touchdown run.
Stat to keep an eye on: With Sanu's touchdown pass, he is a perfect 3/3 with one touchdown in his career. Giving him a perfect 158.3 passer rating.
Top Performers:
Tennessee: Jake Locker - 10/18, 91 yards, 43 yards rushing
