NFL Week 10 Primer: Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans stats and facts

The Cincinnati Bengals stumbled during their first of three straight road games in Jacksonville. Now they are headed to Tennessee to take on the 5-3 Titans.

The Bengals just released the news that they will be without Jake Fisher for the rest of the season, which doesn’t bode will for Andy Dalton’s protection the rest of the season.

Maybe the end of the rotating tackles will end some of the miscommunication along the offensive line, but the Bengals still rank last in the NFL in yards per game. They will also have to improve their third down defense that allowed the Jaguars to convert 12-18 third downs last week.

The Titans are coming off a victory against the Ravens last week. They are now currently the division leader in the AFC South. They will likely feed their two-headed backfield that includes Derrick Henry and DeMarco Murray all game long.

Rookie wide receiver Corey Davis also returned to action last week giving Marcus Mariota one more weapon on offense.
