The Tennessee Titans will face one of their stiffest tests of the 2022 campaign in Week 12 when they welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
The reigning AFC champs, the Bengals come into this game as one of the hotter teams in the NFL after having won four of their last five games.
And, thanks to their recent surge that comes after a 2-3 start, the Bengals now find themselves in the seventh and final playoff spot, and nipping at the heels of the first-place Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.
Like the Bengals, the Titans got off to an 0-2 start, but since then Tennessee has won seven of eight, and that’s despite dealing with an insane amount of injuries.
Tennessee is cruising towards its third-straight division title and now has its sights set on the No. 1 seed in the conference.
Despite the good vibes coming into this game, the Titans still have as many reasons for optimism as they have for concern. Let’s see what they are.
