I'll be honest...
I think part of the issue was that they totally underestimated the Titans, especially on a short week and with what the Browns did to them last week. The Titans were UP for this game, don't think they forget what Karras said walking off that field last year (up yours, TN!). Simmons didn't forget.
I also think it was the first time a team REALLY game planned around Burrow's limitations and the Bengals had no answer or adjustment during the game (which is a huge problem in itself).
This game on Sunday is going to be really interesting (if Burrow plays). The Bengals now know what teams are going to do to them defensively. Can they adjust offensively?
We will see if the Titans game was in a vaccum or if its going to be a season long trend.
