The Cincinnati Bengals will go on the road to play the AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night in a game that likely seemed like a much more meaningful matchup for the two teams when it was initially put on the schedule. Joe Burrow against Trevor Lawrence on two teams that should have been near the top of the AFC got this game into prime time, but Jake Browning will be under center for the last-place Bengals when 8:15 on Dec. 4 comes around.
The Jaguars’ year is going how it was expected to, however. They are 8-3 with a two-game lead on the Indianapolis Colts in the South, so they will be looking to prove they are a top team in the AFC by beating a team that they are expected to this week, with current odds making them 8.5-point favorites.
The entire Bengals’ offense didn’t have a good first game with Browning at quarterback, but they are looking to turn that around, especially since they are still only one game out of a playoff spot despite being under .500 and last in the division.
