The Bengals clawed one out at Nissan Stadium to win their sixth game of the season.
All hope is not lost for the Cincinnati Bengals, who have now won two straight games.
The Bengals, who are 6-8 on the season and 5-3 on the road, beat the Tennessee Titans, one of the worst teams in the NFL. Tennessee dropped to 3-11 on the season and 1-6 at home.
For Cincinnati, the most notable takeaway is that Joe Burrow now has the single-season touchdown record for the franchise, throwing for three more but adding two interceptions to the mix.
Burrow ended with 271 yards, 94 of which went to Ja’Marr Chase. Chase Brown added 97 on the ground and both a rushing and receiving touchdown as well. The Bengals ended the game up 37-27.
That said, let’s dive into how Twitter/X feels about the victory.
Zac Taylor sends out the big three for the coin toss again: Burrow, Chase and Higgins.
Titans send Chidobe Awuzie and Tyler Boyd.

Let’s just say Burrow wasn’t overly happy on the day though.
“It was sloppy.”

Then there was this.
OMG Jordan Battle no wayyyyyyy. That’s a fumble and a touchback, instead of a Bengals touchdown.pic.twitter.com/J165Izf64O

Also, it’s not like Battle dropped it before he got into the end zone. He truly just fumbled it as he crossed the goal line, like it almost slipped out of his hands.

Tee Higgins spoke to @FOX19Jeremy and @HolgateRegan after the Bengals win in Tennessee about the speculation on his future.

The Bengals have been victim to some very bad officiating this season. This is the worst it’s been all seasons it’s barely the second quarter

The Bengals really had Zack Moss out-touch Chase Brown the first 6 weeks of the season.
Brown looks like one of the best RBs in the NFL, and they had him stored in the garage.
