NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The more tape I watched of the Bengals and Titans leading up to this game the more one thought kept entering my mind.
The game will be less about the players and more about the coaches.
The Bengals and Titans are very similar talent-wise, and the strengths and weaknesses are almost a mirror image.
Both have capable and efficient quarterbacks, who distribute the ball well when they have all their weapons. They each have running games that can be impactful and force defenses to adjust and take away that running threat.
Each team has top-level wide receivers who must be focused on by coverage and have serviceable tight ends who will help in the short passing games and the red zone.
Each of the offensive lines is solid with the Titans holding a slight advantage as run blockers.
On the defensive side of the ball, everything starts up front.
