The Bengals sit at 6-4 after a Week 11 win over the Steelers. Joe Burrow and Co. After an 0-2 start, they have won two in a row, five and six of their last eight.

looking strangely similar to the 5-4 club that went to the Super Bowl last year.But before them on Sunday stands a familiar Titans team that sits on a 7-3 record.

After a likewise 0-2 start, the Titans have ripped off seven wins over eight games, the only loss an overtime one to the Chiefs by a field goal.

Those Titans return Ryan Tannehill under center and star running back Derrick Henry, owner of 1,010 yards on a 4.4 average with 10 scores.

The offense averages just 19.3 points, but that matters little when the defense allows just 18.5.

Last January, the Bengals went into Tennessee and nabbed a 19-16 win as Burrow threw for 348 yards with a pick and the ground game averaged 3.6 yards per carry.

Ja'Marr Chase led the team with 109 yards through the air. Tennessee had a hobbled Henry back from injury who averaged just 3.1 yards over 20 attempts.

What muddies the picture, besides how much things can change from last postseason to now, is the fact the Bengals won't have Joe Mixon and don't project to have Chase.
