A windy day in Nashville was the sight for a physical rematch of the AFC Divisional Round between the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans. Joe Burrow and the offense overcame early struggles and pulled out a 20-16 victory on the road.
Six penalties plagued the first four drives of the game, with four going against the Bengals. An offensive pass interference infraction against Chris Evans ensued the offense’s early struggles, and the Titans were having equal trouble taking advantage of quality field position until the conclusion of the first quarter. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine’s 25-yard seam route helped setup Caleb Shudak’s first-career field goal from 33 yards out to make it a 3-0 game.
