Bengals vs. Titans: Expect another big run game
The Bengals are off to their first 2-0 start since 2006, and will try to go 3-0 like the 2006 team did. They're also seeking a franchise record 11th straight home victory. They are coming off a 24-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons in which they dominated, outgaining the Falcons 472-309, including rushing for 170 yards. That's the most rushing yards in a game for the Bengals since rushing for 221 yards in a 34-10 win over Oakland on Nov. 25, 2012.

Smith was one of three Bengals lost in the first quarter of a physical game. Overall, five Bengals were sidelined before the game ended, causing the Bengals to get a little creative with their personnel decisions entering this Sunday's contest against the Tennessee Titans.
