The Tennessee Titans had a much better game plan to deal with a limited Joe Burrow than the Rams did a week ago, and it helped them cruise to a comfortable 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4.
Offensive spotlight: After being out-snapped by rookie Tyjae Spears at times this season, Derrick Henry was back to being a much bigger piece of the Titans' offense, showing he is still well able to dominate on the ground. Henry had 122 rushing yards on 22 carries, with 96 of them coming after contact. He broke nine tackles with the ball in his hands and had seven rushing first downs.
Defensive spotlight: It was a team performance from the Titans' defense, but perhaps the most notable standout was linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. He was sent on the blitz six times as part of the team’s plan of attack against Joe Burrow, notching a hit and seeing another play negated by a roughing the passer call after he went a little too high with his contact. In coverage, Al-Shaair allowed just two catches for nine yards.
Rookie spotlight: Bengals cornerback DJ Turner was targeted three times, none of which resulted in catches by Titans receivers. He played 33 snaps overall as the third cornerback along with Chidobe Awuzie and Cam Taylor-Britt.
