Titans allow big game by Burrow but still point to positive signs on defense after trading Simmons

Cincinnati Bengals secured a 43-36 victory over Tennessee Titans on Sunday, thanks to an impressive performance from Joe Burrow. The veteran quarterback threw for five touchdowns in regulation, showcasing his skill and precision. The star receiver, Tee Higgins, and Burrow themselves had impressive games, with Higgins amassing 155 yards through 10 receptions and two touchdowns, while Burrow completed 33 of 48 passes for 462 yards.

The Bengals got the ball first in overtime and quickly built a 36-29 lead, thanks to a 9-yard touchdown run by Burrow. Despite the Titans' late rally, led by Cam Ward's 340 yards through the air, the Bengals emerged victorious. The Titans, playing without injured players Marcus Harris and James Williams, were on the losing side for the third consecutive game. This win brings the Bengals to a 5-2 record, their best start since 2021.
