So seeing how I have this iconic game (with updated 2021 rosters), I figured I may as well do yall a major solid and run Bengals @ Titans and share the result:

Bengals - 37
Titans - 28

In the 1st quarter, the Titans fumbled 3 times, 2 of which were returned for TDs by Akeem Davis-Gaither. This gave us an early 21-0 lead.

That's when Derrick Henry woke up and scored on 2 consecutive long TD runs.

Thankfully we answered with a Mixon TD, a safety, and a 36 yard TD strike from Burrow to Boyd. This pushed our lead up to 37-14. Essentially ending the game.

Tannehill hit Julio Jones in the back of the end zone, then the Titans recovered an onside kick and Tannehill hit AJ Brown for another TD as time expired. All of this made the final score look much closer than the game actually was.

So what does all this mean? Clearly our defense is in store for a huge day, and our offense won't even be needed much. Digital game ball obviously goes to Davis-Gaither.

I think he was healthy for the game before the Raiders. Not sure if they just went Eli over him. Which Eli deserves.

But need to move on, too little way too late. Apple deserves some dough over him.

Just can't stay healthy in stripes. 

Just nice Eli Apple has finally shown some consistency as he has always been extremely talented.

We'll probably cut him this offseason.


You can use a keyboard, but I used a USB NES controller I bought for like $8 on Amazon.

Now I have the ROM uploaded to my NES classic using Hakchi2. So I play on my TV.


I haven't touched a Madden since 2012 with Peyton Hillis on the cover.

That said, I do remember Madden being accurate. You can't touch the realism and cutting edge graphics of Tecmo, though.

Were they straight runs?  Or did he tease the Bengals by running to the goal line, reversing course and running 99 yards the other way, then reversing course again and scoring the long TD?
