Scouting the Titans

Jimmy G. got 322 yards passing two weeks prior but threw two INTs that cost them the game.

Mac Jones of the Pats went for 310 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs in week 12 and the Pats held Tannehill to under 100 yards passing.

Just some food for thought.....In other words:  Put the ball in Burrow's hands.  He won't need to be Checkdown Charlie like Jones, and he won't throw 2 INTs like Jimmy G.  They are the #2 rush defense in the league.  Let Joe have the ball and check down to backs.  Don't run in to a wall and waste snaps.

Bengals are set up well to attack the Titans.
Titans are much weaker against the pass, and the pass is the Bengals' strength.
Bengals do defend the run well, but as we saw with Jacobs last weekend, rushers can still find ways to move the chains.
Luckily, the Titans don't have a TE that caliber of Waller, Kelce, or Andrews, so that will help.

I'm hoping and expecting the Bengals to air it out more this weekend.
Looking like it will be sunny and upper 30's Saturday. While not as warm as it is in Nashville today and tomorrow (48 and 51 respectively), it should still be solid weather to pass the ball effectively.
