In what is a rematch of a divisional round contest from last season’s playoffs, the Tennessee Titans will host the Cincinnati Bengals at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on Sunday in Week 12.
While nobody has forgotten the results of last year’s playoff matchup, the Titans have done the best they can to avoid calling this a revenge game.
“I’m looking around and like, ‘damn, half of these guys weren’t even here [for the playoff loss],’” defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons said. “But it’s a totally different team. We’re worried about this year, we’re not worried about what happened in the playoffs last year. It’s all about this year and how can we get a win on Sunday.”
As far as the current year is concerned, the Titans sport a better record than the Bengals, but it’s Cincinnati who enters this game as road favorites, per Tipico Sportsbook, which has the visitors as three-point favorites.
