Then, with the defense on its heels, Derrick Henry broke through a couple tackles, delivered a stiffarm and busted free for a 29-yard touchdown run. That set up another playaction strike to Westbrook-Ikhine for 22 yards. Tyjae Spears started the next drive by dropping the pitch on a toss sweep, but picked it up, reversed direction and then gathered steam for a 22-yard gain out to midfield. Then hit Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a 13-yard catch and run touchdown on a well-designed play from offensive coordinator Tim Kelly to give the Titans a 10-3 lead.

On the next play he found rookie tight end Josh Whyle wide open on playaction for 24 yards into the red zone. Ryan Tannehill had much more time to throw this week without Myles Garrett breathing down his neck, and stepped up on a third and three midway through the second quarter and delivered a perfect 38-yard strike over the shoulder of DeAndre Hopkins down the sideline.

The Titans got a field goal on a 15-play drive on their opening possession, then scored three touchdowns in an explosive second quarter that blew the game open. Meanwhile, a week after being held to just 94 yards total yards in Cleveland, a franchise low for the past 49 years, the Titans found a rhythm back at home against the Bengals defense.
