The top-seeded Tennessee Titans (12-5) will look to secure a berth in the AFC championship game when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (11-7) in the divisional round Saturday at Nissan Stadium (3:30 p.m. CT, CBS).
The Titans, who had a first-round bye, enter the playoffs on a three-game winning streak and winners of four of their last five games. They’ll face a Bengals’ team that won the AFC North and beat the Raiders to advance to the divisional round.
The focus in this matchup will be at the line of scrimmage.
Led by quarterback Joe Burrow and star rookie receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati boasts one of the NFL’s most dynamic passing attacks. But Burrow was also sacked a league-high 51 times. Tennessee has one of the top pass-rushing front fours in the NFL. Will Burrow have time to push the ball downfield to his playmakers?
