The Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals faced off at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Sunday in Week 15 action. The Titans, having already been eliminated from playoff contention, hoped to still come away with a win and spoil their former AFC Central rival’s hopes at making the playoffs. The Bengals still don’t have much hope, but the win over the Titans still kept their hopes alive.
It was very much a back-and-forth affair that saw 10 turnovers and 26 penalties between the two teams. Will Levis was benched in the third quarter after he threw his third interception of the game, and Mason Rudolph took over only to throw an interception of his own. It was a sloppy game by both teams, and despite Cincinnati’s best efforts to lose the game by penalties (14), the Bengals still managed a win.
Let’s take a peek at the best and worst performers of the Titans’ loss to the Bengals as graded by Pro Football Focus.
