The stakes couldn't be higher for Cincinnati. The Bengals (5-8) need a win to keep playoff hopes alive. The Titans present a formidable opponent, boasting the second-best overall defense in the league.

Historical context adds drama to the matchup. The Bengals and Titans have a long-standing rivalry, with Tennessee leading the all-time series 41-37-1. Cincinnati is a five-point favorite, but their path to the postseason remains precarious. They need wins and help from teams like the Colts, Chargers, Broncos and Dolphins to secure a wild-card spot.

The Bengals made multiple roster moves, including placing Joe Bachie on injured reserve and promoting Woodside. With playoff hopes hanging in the balance, every roster decision has become a topic of intense scrutiny.

With multiple key players dealing with injuries, including left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., the Bengals' roster moves suggest a strategic approach to maintaining competitive depth. Joe Burrow remains confident, but fans watch every development with bated breath.
