The Jaguars came with blitzes Sunday against Cincinnati and tried to shoot the gaps with a four-man front.īut Bengals rookie Joe Burrow still stood calmly in the pocket, undaunted. Jaguars lose 33-25 to Bengals, drop third consecutive game Times-Union sports columnist Gene Frenette grades the Jaguars’ performance against the Cincinnati Bengals based on execution, effort and game circumstances. Jaguars' report card: Another FF-ailure by defense, coaching staff ![]() While rookie quarterback Joe Burrow - the most-sacked quarterback in the NFL entering the game - stayed upright, the Jaguars did get him on the move at times. The Bengals were ineffective on the ground, averaging 3.1 yards per attempt, and leading rusher Joe Mixon had only 30 yards on 12 carries (2.5 per attempt). The Jaguars defense checked off most of the boxes in the first half on Sunday at Cincinnati. Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon wear the defense down - then injuries pile up Had it not been for a penalty, he would have had his second 100-yard game and the NFL's offensive rookie of the month for September settled for 75 yards on 15 carries and four pass receptions for 32 yards in the Jags’ 33-25 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Robinson continues to plow forward in more ways than one with his improbable story as a rookie free agent from an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision school (Illinois State). Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson once again the bright spot on offense in a lossįor the third game in a row, Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson was one of the few bright spots on offense. Rookie Brandon Watson handled kicking duties last week but was waived after he injured his groin against Miami. Rosas was the third kicker the Jaguars have used in three games and he’s the fourth on their active roster since Josh Lambo went on injured reserve Sept. The Jaguars’ Aldrick Rosas handled kicking duties Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals because Stephen Hauschka was placed on the inactive list because of a sore right knee. Jaguars' Aldrick Rosas makes four FGs in debut vs. ![]() Not just on the medical front, but it’s also apparent at the quarter-pole of this season that the Jaguars’ defense isn’t going to miraculously fix itself any time soon.įor the second straight week, the quarterback of a winless opponent exposed weaknesses on Todd Wash’s depth-starved defense and counting on Gardner Minshew to win shootout games is obviously a recipe for trouble. Well, that connection is about to be tested in a big way because this team is in a world of hurt. An early score in front of a wild home crowd should have the Jaguars reeling and Lawrence making plenty of mistakes against a nasty Bengals front seven.Gene Frenette: Losing to Bengals diminishes hope in Jaguars salvaging a respectable yearĭoug Marrone has talked rather fondly about his 2020 Jaguars, from the perspective of how close he feels to this group of players and the chemistry that he believes tightly bonds them. It isn’t unreasonable to expect another big game for him, especially as defenses start to roll even more help to Chase’s side of the field. These two met one year ago and Joe Mixon popped off for two rushing scores and one as a receiver. James Robinson is a threat on the ground (5.2 yards per carry) and the defense has some really good pass-rushers (like Josh Allen), but the Bengals are the biggest favorites they’ve been since 2017 for a reason. Just last week, a flea-flicker Lawrence lazily lofted up got pick-sixed. A poor offensive line and play-calling haven’t helped. Lawrence very much looks the part of a rookie too, having thrown five touchdowns against seven interceptions. The Jaguars are 0-3 and haven’t been within seven points of the opposition and notably got blown out by a bad Houston team. ![]() Starting corner Chidobe Awuzie is doubtful, though Trae Waynes should finally make his debut with the team.īut really? This is the game to miss if Bates has to miss one. Both wideout Tee Higgins and star safety Jessie Bates won’t be able to play due to injury. Which isn’t to suggest the Bengals don’t have concerns.
