AI Recap
AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the Tennessee Titans topped the Cincinnati Bengals 38-15 in Week 3 of the 2028 season. With this victory, the Titans not only secured their footing in the playoff race but also showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball against a struggling Bengals team.
Offensively, it was Cam Ward who led the Titans, throwing for two touchdowns while Evan Carey bolstered the ground game with an impressive 126 rushing yards. The Titans' ability to effectively move the ball and capitalize on scoring opportunities allowed them to build an insurmountable lead early in the contest. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow managed to accumulate 216 passing yards for Cincinnati, but struggled to find the end zone.
Defensively, Zaven Collins was a standout, recording three total tackles and three sacks that disrupted the Bengals' offensive rhythm throughout the game. The turning point came late in the first half when Collins' relentless pressure on Burrow led to a critical interception by Cedric Gray, shifting momentum firmly in the Titans' favor. This defensive prowess not only stifled Cincinnati's offense but also allowed Tennessee to control the game from start to finish.
