Halftime: Titans 14, Bengals 7
Chris Perry’s first career rushing touchdown came on a fourth-and-1 burst off right tackle from 13 yards out with 3:16 remaining in the second quarter.
But the Tennessee Titans came roaring back, blowing down the field with a 7-play, 80-yard drive that QB Kerry Collins finished with an 11-yard pass to Justin Gage in the left front corner of the end zone at 0:38, giving the Titans a 14-7 halftime lead.
Tailback LenDale White’s 1-yard plunge put Tennessee ahead 7-0 at 11:06 of the second quarter.
Cincinnati tied the score at 7 with Perry’s third career TD (first rushing).
What was so disturbing about the Titans’ final drive of the half was that five plays were runs of 2, 2, 3, 51 and 9 yards.
Chris Johnson’s 51-yard burst over right guard came on second-and-12 from the Titans’ 29 to the Bengals’ 20.
On the big play, Bengals strong safety Chinedum Ndukwe got faked out and whiffed on a tackle.
Two plays later, Gage got loose on the perimeter and beat cornerback David Jones for the TD.
