What has happened to Tennessee's defense? That's the question the Titans will be trying to answer when they face the offensive firepower of the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

After having one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL most of the season, the Tennessee Titans have allowed 31 points per game in their last two.

"We have to make tackles," coach Jeff Fisher said. "It's something that's been a problem for us which was not a problem for us earlier in the year."

The running backs have struggled as well, LenDale White has 54 yards combined in his last two games, slowing down the running game that has been instrumental to Fisher's ball-control coaching style.

"They're just little things we have to tighten up," White said. "No need to fear. We're 6-4 and still in it, very much in it. We just have to buckle down and do the little things better."

The Titans will need to buckle down against one of the better passing attacks in the NFL. Despite their 3-7 record, the Bengals can still put up points on anyone, they average a seventh-best 24.6 points per game.

Despite playing on the road, the Titans are -1.5 favorites for their contest with the Bengals.
