Kerry Collins, along with another strong showing from the Titans defense, led the Titans to a 24-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Titans led throughout the game limiting the once high-powered Bengals offense to only 7 points. The Titans defense held Carson Palmer to 16-of-27 for 134 yards with two interceptions, including Cortland Finnegan's third interception of the season. It wasn't all the quarterback's fault. The Bengals' defense had 12 men on the field for one play, sustaining a Tennessee touchdown drive, and their offense was flagged for having 12 men in the huddle.
Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco tormented the Titans' secondary last November in Cincinnati's 35-6 win, catching a career-high 12 passes and three touchdowns. But today all Ocho Cinco managed was four harmless catches -- he also got flagged for holding and interference -- in an offense that has only one touchdown in two games.
Linebacker Keith Bulluck provided the clincher, blocking Kyle Larson's punt in the end zone with his right arm, then snatching the ball off the ground for another touchdown.
For the second straight week, the Titans' defense led the charge, limiting the Bengals to 215 total yards. Tennessee limited Jacksonville to 189 yards in Week 1.
Overall, a good win for the Titans after a trying and bizarre week. Vincy Young was not with the team and did not seem to be missed. Collins wasn't spectacular but he was efficient going 14-21 for 128 with 1 TD and no INTs. The Titans running game also did it's job piling up 177 yards, rookie Chris Johnson with 109 on 19 and LenDale White rushing for a solid 59 yards on 18 carries also scoring a TD.

NICE, i loved the game, alot called for the titans to lose, HA i'm glad they didn't.
um, i guess i'll post the pictures of the game then on my blog?
one for vy, i hope he gets his legs back soon!!
Despite his thoughts otherwise, VY isn't just getting his job back when he's physically healthy. Field Goal Fisher, and the team, doesn't trust he won't quit on them again if things get tough.
then that is his own fault.
What makes the VY situation so difficult is how complicated it is. You have the bizarre off-the-field stuff and then the questions about how hurt he is and did he quit on the team.
It's a complete mess.
he quit on himself, that is all cowboy. he needs to get back to good, which is gonna be a long road for him.
yes it is and hopefully he will.
he will, give him some time. we chicks know these things ;0
