Joe Burrow, fearless Cincinnati Bengals can keep pace with Titans | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

The Chiefs were great before Patrick Mahomes. 10-6 in ’17, 12-4 in ’16, 11-5 in ’15, 9-7 in ’14, and 11-5 in ’13.

    Dale Dan-Irabor

    They were GOOD, not GREAT! Everyone knew that they were not beating the Steelers or Pats in the playoffs… regardless of their regular season record lol

    Tyrone

    @mc shooter yeah burrow is better 💯

    Chinmay The Math Guy

    And 1 playoff win

    KINGxxMEAT KINGxxMEAT

    Ever since Andy Reid came to the Chiefs the Chiefs have been good

    Abioye Chidike Adebowale

    They was the Bengals with Andy Dalton 🤣🤣🤣

Raymond Toler

Justin Herbert gets alot of credit for a guy that hasn’t really accomplished much

    mc shooter

    I’m saying

    Jordan King

    Truth

    H L

    Look at his passer rating. It’s very good.

    mc shooter

    @H L but he ain’t made to the playoffs doe OK then

    H L

    @mc shooter That’s important but it can’t seriously be the only metric by which a quarterback is evaluated. A player can be good and not make the playoffs if they play a team sport.

David Alan

Tiger King to Chase is the real deal. Cincy can score points and make the big offensive play so for them I feel the 2 big keys are:

1. Offensive line has to be on point. No breakdowns in coverage.
2. Defense cannot give up the big run plays or get caught slipping on play action.

I think the Bengals have what it takes to get past Tennessee. Especially if they put up a lot of points early.

Cincinnati 35 – Tennessee 24

    Jacob Bell

    Even if tennesse gets down early they’ll stick to their game plan. They don’t really go off script: play actions and zone runs

    YouTopia Storm

    Even if the front plays avg, Burrow can punish any team. I have no doubt whatsoever that they can make and win the Super Bowl. They have too much firepower in that offense. But I agree with you. If the line protects well, look the f out.

Charlito Guzman

The Bengals know they belong here. Make no mistake about it,this Bengals team is really good. They swept teams that were supposed to be division front runners,and they beat the AFC best team. Joe Burrow has arrived folks! Jamarr Chase,Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd have arrived! This Bengals team is really really good.

    Preston Curry

    @Cory Yates we beat em last year and we was horrible. Yall had everybody except Julio. Now we are better and explosive we weren’t explosive at all last year and won by 11. 31-20 burrow 249 2tds 0 picks. Against a titans team 7-1 at the time. So what you should be saying is have the titans beat joe burrow yet. Plus we beat the chiefs too 😂😂😂😂.

    Rick Boise

    The defense is totally different, you bengals fans are the most clueless I’ve ever seen lmao.

    Jonathan

    @Preston Curry we had everyone? No, we replaced 8 defensive starters

    Preston Curry

    @Rick Boise it’s different… kc defense was different the raiders defense was different. The broncos defense every defense we faced this year has been different win or loss. And they barely beat us… only bad losses was the browns 1st time and the chargers. Other losses by 3 or less. So you’re not different just another defense for our offense to expose. Yall just another team on the list for us to destroy on our path to the super bowl. Nothing more nothing less. It’s just business.

    Preston Curry

    @Jonathan apologies for the long response headed to a funeral.

Garrison Brown

People said the Bengals’ limit this season was six or seven wins. So, keep talking.

    Phillip Biondo

Wildernesswolff

Bengals uniforms have always been one of the coolest designs in the league

    Christopher C

    Can I say I never bought a Bengals jersey between 2004-2020, except for the white tiger Color Rush jersey.

    Brian McHugh

    And the latest iteration, is even more cool than all before. Easily one of the go to coolest uni’s in the NFL. Sharp as fk.

    Howie

    @R C no

    Howie

    Wildernesswolff cry

    R C

    @Howie yes

Blk Johnny Bravo

Tennessee has the keys and its really simple.
1. Dont turn the ball over
2. Sustain drives and drain the clock. Dont give burrow a lot of opportunities to be dynamic.

    Jacob Bell

    Lol so the same as about any other game. Great take, very unique

    Cory Yates

    @Jacob Bell Most teams in the league aren’t really trying to drain clock and not let the other teams QB have a field day. They are just trying to light up the points with their QB. That is what makes TN very different. The margin for error by other teams QBs is small because of the time of possession is likely to be smaller. But I get what you are saying….teams don’t win if they are making turnovers.

    King Henry

    Vrabel is a master at TOS and ball control

    Blk Johnny Bravo

    @Jacob Bell hey i said its really simple. Lol

nasty natti

I said it last year heading into the titans game, when u have the better qb u always have a chance. Burrow is the x factor

    Moe Francois

    Also the fact that the Titans had an historically bad defense also helped the Bengals, not at all the same defense this time around

    nasty natti

    @Moe Francois also the fact the bengals had a historical bad team…. give me a break burrow owns u

    Rick Boise

    Burrow is gonna be running for his life Saturday. Bengals fans about to experience the wake up call of their lives

    nasty natti

    @Rick Boise chiefs said the same thing…. undont have a qb, thats sorta important hahah

    Mark Fuller

    @Rick Boise Not a wake-up call at all. Most intelligent Bengals fans realize that they are a year away because they are missing some offensive line and defensive pieces. They should be able to take care of that with free agency (one of the best cap situations in the NFL) and the draft. They could potentially get 2 or 3 super bowls within the next 10 years. Not impossible for the Bengals to win the game because the best team does not always win but as a Bengals fan I am fine with whatever happens for the rest of the year. The team is ahead of schedule and a few pieces away. Playing with house money. The pressure is on Tennesee because they are in the middle of a now or never window because of the upcoming contract years. They need to win a Superbowl before the cap space ends their run.

Steve Chaffin

Bengals need to be super aggressive and try to get a big lead early to force Tennessee to throw the ball

    Nate Priestle

    @Edwin Aviles We’ll see

    Shiloh

    Tennessee will still run the ball even down two scores. That’s who they are

    Sean Diemar

    Agreed

    Sean Diemar

    @Edwin Aviles shoot out Saturday? Love it. No one can beat us in a shoot out not even the chiefs
    Who dey🐅🐅🐅🐅

    YouTopia Storm

    Very true

Mortimer Snerd

“Ugly uniforms?” Best looking and unique uniforms in all of professional sports. What’s not to like? WHO DEY!

    harley wise

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who perked up on that comment. Lol I never heard anyone say they were ugly til now……so now I’m questioning reality lol

    mc shooter

    Are uniforms hard

    Mike Hansen

    I always hated the bengals jerseys.

    La Flama Blanca

    WHO DEY!!

David Montgomery

The Bengals “ceiling” has been moving upwards constantly throughout the season. I’m not saying they’ll win this weekend, but they definitely can. They can beat anyone. Their ceiling is a Super Bowl.

    Christopher C

    @King Henry Kansas City. Held to a field goal in the second half. The Bengals happened to earn their playoff spot with that victory.
    The 2021 season has been full of games by teams that make them look like Super Bowl contenders, then that gets questioned in the next games. The Bengals didn’t lose to the Jaguars like the Bills did.

    Mark Fuller

    @King Henry They need a few more defensive pieces and a couple of studs on the offensive line and they will be good to go.

    Mark Fuller

    @Christopher C No, they lost to the Jets and the Bears.

    Christopher C

    @Mark Fuller Read my reply to ThrashVille. One, the Jets were down 11 points in the 4th quarter. Two, way back in Week 3- in Burrow’s first game filled with fans of the opposing team- he threw three interceptions in three straight passes. The first one was a pick six. Despite being one of the lowest points of the season, the Bengals still managed to only lose by a field goal. Every team this season has their ups and downs, including the Titans, who also lost to the Jets.

    Bloods2006

    @King Henry I’ve seen you comment all week on these bengals titans videos and it’s always some salty, antagonizing Bs. You realize that any team can beat any team in the nfl, right? We both lost to the Jets and we’re both one of the top 4 teams in the AFC. “Good teams win those games.” I’ve seen the belicheck and Brady patriots lose to a 2-14 browns team. Good teams lose to bad teams every single week in the nfl. Any given Sunday. Does anyone really think the ‘17 eagles were better than the ‘17 patriots? In reality, we’re talking like a 55% chance for the titans to win. Better odds than the bengals. It SHOULD be a good game. Doesn’t mean it will. The bengals could muff the first kickoff and then fumble it on the second drive. If the titans get ahead early I’d say there’s a 70% chance they win. If the bengals get ahead early I’d say there’s a 70% chance they’d win. But you won’t know until the game is played. Both teams are very good. Your continuing narrative that the bengals don’t even deserve to be on the same field as the titans makes me think you’re 14 years old. Both teams are good teams. Anything can happen.

Willie Hardiman

As a Titans fan, I know by the way the team carries itself that they’re not sleeping on the Bengals. Can’t afford to. I personally have a lot of respect for Burrow and everyone else up there

    Preston Curry

    @JJ I live in cincinnati and we just like that if fans aren’t respectful but we just trash talk period to be honest.

    Sean Diemar

    @James Bradford yeah that’s true

    Santino Corleon

    @Justin Miller boyyyyyy you ain’t lied there they been online talking wild

    PandaMan

    Bengal fan here, Who Dey!!!!, but I too have respect for Nashville. Lived there for a year back in 1995-6, one of the happiest years of my life, so may the best team on that day win!

    BMO JO

    If you saw him play at LSU, you already know.

YouTopia Storm

First off, those uniforms are lit. Quit trying to speak for everybody. Second, they absolutely know they are supposed to be here. It’s sickening when they say lame repeated bs. They’re the most explosive team in football. Most 30 and 50 yrd plays this year. Even if Burrow is pushed out of the pocket or is hurried, the man is a true general and knows his receivers like the back of his hand to get it out quick. If the Bengals front can even play average, Burrow will make you pay. Especially if Mixon starts getting hot and it opens up the play action. This team is no joke fr. Fire squad that will make the Super Bowl in my opinion. These analysts are a joke. JS

    Magma5.O_H

    The biggest advantage we have on making it to the super bowl is all these melon heads selling that you can sleep on us. Stats don’t lie I wouldn’t be sleeping.

    Christian Cano

    ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Edwin Aviles

As if the Titans aren’t hungry…as if the Titans haven’t been doing it year in and year out for the past three years against elite competition….but yet, they get no respect. They had 91 players suit up this year because of injuries (NFL record btw) and still they managed to pull off the no. 1 seed. That’s grit. That’s resiliency.
I have nothing but respect for the Bengals. It’s going to be a great game. Titan Up!

    Dustin goff

    @King Henry casual we’ve stuck by our bengals for 30 years without a playoff win. We’re a young hungry team and will give Tennessee everything we got

    King Henry

    @Dustin goff yes they will give Titans everything, but it won’t be enough. Bengals got a good foundation to build on, they will be back but they just missing too many pieces for a legitimate SB run.

    Dustin goff

    @King Henry yea sounds good people been doubting us all year we will see Saturday

    Dustin goff

    @King Henry titans are missing too many pieces to make an afc championship run lmao

shinobimonty

Bengals beat the Titans last year with a worse team then they have now 🤣

    Jonathan

    The Titans defense replaced 8 starters so….

    Youth Official

    Lol fr

    shinobimonty

    We have better corners and Jesse Bates compared to the Titans trash corners only thing that is in the Titans favor is your defensive line over the Bengals offensive lineman that’s it lol

    shinobimonty

    @Jonathan yup didn’t do anything lol

    shinobimonty

    @Jack Prine were cocky enough to stop king henry all day long 😉

Luke Ewald

Bengals have the best helmets in NFL

    MARR

    In my personal humble opinion its the rams 🧏🏾‍♂️

Jay R

Tee Higgins is X factor. He has to have a big game. He gotta get going.

    Santino Corleon

    Facts he’s due

Jeroen Koopman

Its amazing how these two guys (experts) before the season started laughed when Las Vegas said the Bengals would maybe win 6 games! Sims said no way, probably 4 wins. Mike said his Vikings would win the first game 34-10. Joke.

colirino

I have always loved the Bengals unforms. And their helmets are my favorite in the league.

Spencer Lowe

Bengals literally have the best uniforms in the NFL. Nothing tops the tiger stripes, especially on the helmets.

    Bman

    Their unis are the reason I started liking them as a kid 😂

    Spencer Lowe

    @Bman Vikings helmets got me liking them too 🤣
