Titans OC Tim Kelly was in his bag in Week 4 and fans loved it

After falling on their face a week ago, the Tennessee Titans offense bounced back in a massive way by emphatically beating the Cincinnati Bengals 27-3 — and offensive coordinator Tim Kelly rightly received praise for it.

This was an incredible performance from nearly everybody involved, with Kelly’s play-calling especially deserving of a shoutout.

The Titans’ offensive mastermind called a nearly flawless game on all fronts. Kelly got the tandem of Derrick Henry and Tyjae Spears involved early and often with success. He found ways to get the ball into the hands of his pass-catchers while also finding creative ways to put the ball into the end zone.

Kelly’s most impressive moment came at the end of the first half.

The Titans’ play-caller made the bold decision to let Derrick Henry throw a pass for a touchdown in the closing seconds while also sending Jeffery Simmons in as a blocker to completely throw the Bengals’ defense off.

Fortunately, the play was executed to perfection or else the Titans may not have come away with any points there. Kelly ended up looking like a genius for his gutsy play-call.

This entire game rightly led to Kelly being praised by fans and media. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions to the offensive coordinator’s sensational day following the Titans’ 24-point beatdown of the Bengals.
