Bengals edge Titans to keep playoff hopes alive despite sloppy performance
CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals won their second consecutive game, defeating the Tennessee Titans 37-27. Despite the victory, quarterback Joe Burrow criticized the team's performance, citing too many penalties and turnovers, including two interceptions and a lost fumble. The Bengals (6-8) remain in the playoff hunt but need to win their final three games and rely on other teams for help. Burrow had a strong game, throwing for 271 yards and three touchdowns, setting a new franchise record with 36 touchdown passes this season. The Bengals committed 14 penalties for 113 yards, contributing to a messy game with a total of 10 turnovers. Next, they will face the Cleveland Browns, who have struggled this season.
