Titans Film Room: Breaking Down Top 4 Plays in Win Over Bengals

The Tennessee Titans had plenty of explosive plays in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals and film analyst Tyler Rowland dives into the tape to see how the biggest four plays of the day happened.

The Tennessee Titans offense had a fantastic performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, bouncing back from a less than poor showing against the Cleveland Browns. While there are multiple explosive plays to pick from, let's take a look at the top four plays of Week 4 in this week's "Tic Tac Four Pack."

First, we look at Derrick Henry's 29-yard touchdown run. Henry was individually brilliant on the play. Avoiding two Bengals defenders before running through an arm tackle and giving his classic stiff arm to a linebacker. Henry then races to the corner for the score.

While Henry was great, the play design is equally impressive. Rookie tight end Josh Whyle is in the backfield as a wing and kicks out the defensive end on his own. This allows Andre Dillard and Dillon Radunz to put a double team in the defensive lineman. It opens a wide hole for Henry.

Then we see a crucial third-down catch by DeAndre Hopkins. Early in the game when the Titans had not score any touchdowns, Hopkins came up clutch. Hopkins put a double move on a corner and raced down the sidelines with separation. 

Tannehill hung in the pocket and made a big time throw. This gave the Titans a fresh first down, a flipped field and set up their first touchdown of the day.

Next, we have the bomb to Chris Moore. The Titans did a good job of using a varied snap count to throw off the timing of the Bengals' blitzes. On this play, the Titans catch the Bengals offsides and Tannehill uses the opportunity to throw a deep one.

Moore is on a vertical route and the Bengals are in Cover 2. Tannehill is looking left to start which holds the throw-side safety, but after checking to his left, Tannehill quickly uncorks one to the right for a big gain to Moore.

Finally, we see Henry's jump pass to Whyle in all it's glory. A great sell by the offensive line holds the defense and then Henry delivers a perfect pass for the knockout blow.
