Tennessee Titans DT Jeffery Simmons is wreaking havoc on the Cincinnati Bengals in NFL Divisional game
In the Tennessee Titans' divisional round game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Jeffery Simmons has been a game-changing player.
The third-year defensive tackle sacked Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow three times for his third multi-sack game of the season.
The Titans had six sacks as a team early in the third quarter. Tennessee also had two sacks taken away, one coming after a Bengals delay of game penalty in the first quarter, and the other coming following a Cincinnati timeout before the snap in the second.
