The Cincinnati Bengals and the Tennessee Titans will kick off the NFL's most anticipated week of the season, the divisional playoffs.
Cincinnati is riding a hot streak after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders last week. Joe Burrow has the city believing this team can beat anybody, including the Titans. The defense will have Trey Hendrickson available after his status was in doubt due to a concussion.
Meanwhile, the Titans are healthier than they've been all season. Derrick Henry's return from injury is massive for Ryan Tannehill and the offense.
In a weekend full of games that have the potential to be instant classics, this game will be the lead-off hitter and look to start things off with an electric start.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tennessee Titans injury report for the NFL Divisional Round Playoffs
Cincinnati Bengals injury report
Cincinnati enters the divisional round relatively healthy. Their injury concerns are on their defensive line. Defensive tackle Mike Daniels is questionable to play.
Their best interior defensive lineman, Larry Ogunjobi, was placed on injured reserve last week and will also miss this game. The Titans should have a matchup advantage by being able to run the ball against Cincinnati's depleted defensive line.
Tennessee Titans injury report
The Titans have Henry activated off injured reserve for this game. His presence is game-changing, as he finished the season as the 12th leading rusher in the NFL despite missing over half the season.
Their only player with an injury designation is Teair Tart, who is questionable. Health is vital this late in the postseason, and the Titans finally have all of their weapons on offense healthy at the same time.
