What Titans are saying about Bengals ahead of Week 4

The Tennessee Titans will face a difficult task in trying to get back to .500 in Week 4, as they draw what amounts to a terrible matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Tennessee’s offensive line has struggled, led by a terrible start to the season for left tackle Andre Dillard. Now, the Bengals come to town sporting two talented pass-rushers in Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard.

Hendrickson is of particular concern, seeing as how he’s one of the better pass-rushers in the NFL. Making matters worse, he’ll be lining up against Dillard.

On defense, the Titans have to contend with a trio of talented receivers in Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, all of whom are capable of burning Tennessee’s lackluster secondary.

And, oh yeah, they have one of the league’s best quarterbacks in Joe Burrow throwing them the football.

Cincinnati’s elite trio was just one of the topics the Titans discussed during the week. Here’s a look at what the team had to say about that and more in the week leading up to the contest against the Bengals.

“(The Bengals) have had success against us the last couple of games, and we just have to be better focused, get into drives, and everybody do what they are supposed to,” Henry said, per Jim Wyatt.
