The Bengals try to re-write the franchise record books with a win at home against the Titans.

Cincinnati has emerged as one of the top-tier teams in the league thanks to an offense that ranks fourth in yards per play and hasn’t committed a turnover, combined with a physical defense that has allowed the third-fewest points in the league.
The Titans looked strong out of the gate with a 26-10 win over the Chiefs in their season opener, but flopped against the Cowboys in Week 2, losing by an identical 26-10 score. The Titans defense really struggled to contain the Cowboys on the ground, allowing 220 rushing yards in the loss. DeMarco Murray consistently was able to penetrate the line of scrimmage and was key in the Cowboys owning a huge time of possession advantage, especially in the second half.

Nuts and Bolts
The Bengals haven’t lost a regular season game at Paul Brown Stadium since Week 14 of 2012 against the Cowboys, and with a win on Sunday will set the franchise record at 11 straight. Cincy has won each of its last six games during the streak by at least two touchdowns, including a 24-10 win over the Falcons in Week 2.
The Titans will need to shore up their rush defense if they are going to snap the Bengals' home win streak. Tennessee allowed 220 rush yards in Week 2, its most given up in a game since 2011. The Bengals, led by Giovani Bernard and rookie Jeremy Hill, ran for 170 yards in their win over the Falcons last weekend and have rushed for at least 100 yards in four of their last five regular season home games.
