Preview : Bengals Vs Jaguars 

By Bill Murphy 

After coming off a 17-16  win in the Battle Of Ohio against the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals are now taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Last week Joe Burrow was 14/23 for 113 yards and one touchdown.  In the run game Chase Brown had 21 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown . In the receiving game, Tee Higgins had three receptions for 33 yards and in his Bengal debut Noah Fant had four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown. 

Liam Coen shined in his head coaching debut against the Carolina Panthers, as the Jaguars won 26-10.  Trevor Lawrence was 19-31 for 178 yards and one touchdown.  Travis Etienne had 143 yard on 16 carries and   Brian Thomas jr. had one carry for nine yards and one  touchdown .  The Jags got the Tight Ends involved as Brenton Strange led the team with four receptions for 59 yards and Hunter Long had one reception for six yards and the touchdown. 

Keys to the Game 

Bengals 

Offense: The Key to the Bengals  offense would be Joe Burrow . Even though ,Burrow got off to a slow start last  week , he is really going to have to step it up this  week and hit Ja’mar Chase . 

Defense :  The Defensive key to the game for the Bengals would be the pass rush led by Trey Hendrickson . Last year Hendrickson got 33 solo tackles 13 assist and 17.5 sacks. 

Last Week Hendrickson got three tackles and one sack .  Hendrickson is going to have to go through a tough Jaguars Offensive Line who kept Trevor Lawerence from at all last week. 

Jaguars

Offense : The keys for the Jaguars offense would be the offensive line . Last week, the  Jaguars kept Trevor Lawerence’s jersey absolutely  spotless giving up no sacks .  The O- Line  are going to have a bigger challenge this week with the Bengals pass rush led by Trey Hendrickson . 

Defense: The defensive key for Jacksonville would be the pass rush including Javarian Jones.  Last week the pass defense held Bryce Young to only 51.5 % completion rate .  Now they can do the same to Burrow who Myles Garret sacked three times last week . 

Prediction : 

Bengals 20 , Jaguars 17
