2023 NFL season, Week 13: What We Learned from Bengals’ win over Jaguars on Monday night.
The Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars faced off in a thrilling Monday night football game at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.
The Bengals came out on top with a 34-31 overtime win, thanks to a game-winning field goal by Evan McPherson. Here are some of the key takeaways from the game.
Jake Browning is the real deal
The Bengals’ quarterback Jake Browning had a stellar performance, completing 28 of 39 passes for 335 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
He also ran for 21 yards and a touchdown. Browning showed poise, accuracy, and mobility, leading the Bengals to four scoring drives in the fourth quarter and overtime.
He connected with Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase for touchdowns, and also scrambled for a 12-yard score to tie the game at 28-28 with 2:12 left in regulation.
Browning has been impressive since taking over for the injured Joe Burrow, and he has proven that he can be the franchise quarterback for the Bengals.
The Jaguars’ defense needs to improve:
The Jaguars’ defense had a rough night, allowing the Bengals to rack up 491 total yards and 27 first downs. The Jaguars’ secondary was especially vulnerable, giving up big plays to the Bengals’ receivers.
Boyd had eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown, Higgins had seven catches for 94 yards and a touchdown, and Chase had six catches for 85 yards and a touchdown.
The Jaguars’ pass rush was also ineffective, registering only one sack and two quarterback hits. The Jaguars’ defense has been inconsistent this season, and it needs to step up if the Jaguars want to make a deep playoff run.
The Jaguars’ offense is still explosive:
The Jaguars’ offense was not the problem in this game, as it scored 31 points and had 376 total yards. The Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a solid game, completing 25 of 36 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns.
He also ran for 16 yards and a touchdown. Lawrence showed his arm talent, throwing a 64-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark and a 28-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones.
He also displayed his leadership, leading the Jaguars to a go-ahead field goal with 1:07 left in regulation.
The Jaguars’ offense also featured a balanced attack, with James Robinson rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown, and Chark, Jones, and Laviska Shenault combining for 15 catches for 232 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars’ offense is one of the most dynamic in the league, and it can challenge any defense.
The Bengals are still alive in the playoff race:
The Bengals improved to 6-6 with this win, keeping their playoff hopes alive. They are currently tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns for second place in the AFC North, behind the Baltimore Ravens who are 9-3.
The Bengals have a favorable schedule ahead, with games against the Denver Broncos, the Houston Texans, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Cleveland Browns.
The Bengals have shown resilience and grit this season, overcoming injuries and adversity. They have a young and talented core, led by Browning, Boyd, Higgins, Chase, and Joe Mixon. The Bengals are a team to watch out for in the final stretch of the season.
The Jaguars are still in the hunt for the AFC South title:
The Jaguars fell to 8-4 with this loss, but they are still in the hunt for the AFC South title. They are currently tied with the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans for the first place in the division, with the Tennessee Titans trailing behind at 4-8.
The Jaguars have a tough schedule ahead, with games against the Los Angeles Rams, the New York Jets, the New England Patriots, and the Indianapolis Colts.
The Jaguars have a lot of talent and potential, led by Lawrence, Robinson, Chark, Jones, and Josh Allen. The Jaguars are a team that can bounce back from this loss and make some noise in the playoffs.
