The Jacksonville Jaguars extended their losing streak to 19 games after getting beat by the Cincinnati Bengals in a Thursday Night Football clash. The Bengals snatched a 24-21 win thanks to  Evan McPherson’s late 35-yard field goal.

The Jags were the better team in the first half, scoring two touchdowns while shutting down the Bengals’ offense. Jacksonville got a chance to make it 21-0 late in the second quarter but ended up failing to convert 4th&Goal on Cincinnati’s 1-yard line.

The Bengals bounced back in the second half and made the score even in their first two possessions. The Jags’ running back James Robinson then scored his second touchdown of the night to give his team the lead once again.

Cincinnati’s offense immediately responded with a touchdown of their own before the defense came through once again and stopped Jacksonville’s drive.

The Bengals got the ball at their own 10-yard line after the Jags’ punted and managed to go 73 yards down the field in order to set up an easy FG attempt for McPherson with four seconds left on the clock. The spotlight wasn’t too bright for the rookie kicker, who was good on the kick and gave his team the third win of the season.

Cincinnati was led by second-year quarterback Joe Burrow, who threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Joe Mixon added one rushing touchdown while running for 67 yards.

Rookie QB Trevor Lawrence had a solid game for the Jags, completing 17 out of 24 passes attempted for 204 yards. On top of his two TD runs, Robinson rushed for a total of 78 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ 31-20 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday, meant that they got their revenge for a narrow loss in the last season’s AFC Championship Game. This doesn’t mean, however, that the Jaguars are done since the team is already preparing to continue their revenge streak this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Titans established themselves as a proper anti-Jags team, and Jacksonville managed to get only one win over them in the last six seasons while losing both of the match-ups in 2017. Now the Jaguars players feel it is time for payback.

“Losing to a team twice, at their house and here, that wasn’t cool,” –linebacker Myles Jack told reporters. “We’re not too happy about that. That’s obviously being talked about this week. The New England game was one thing, but this is a team that literally beat us twice in one year.“

“The Titans were the one team we really didn’t have an answer for,” – added safety Tashaun Gipson. “They outplayed us in every facet of the game. We were truly outmatched, from the home opener last year to the game before the playoffs. Obviously, we want to get our lick back in a sense.”

Tennessee Titans are a historically unpleasant team for Jacksonville Jaguars. Titans handed Jaguars more defeats than any other NFL team and were the ones to stop 14-2 Jags team from 1999 to reach the Super Bowl in franchise’s history. The two teams faced in the 1999 AFC Championship Game at Jacksonville and things started great for the Jaguars who had 14-10 lead at the half. Titans fired back with 23-0 run in the second half and went on to win the game.

Jacksonville Jaguars are off to a great start of the season and currently look like one of the best teams in the league. But, the match against the Titans will probably show what they are made off and whether this team is finally ready for big things.

Jacksonville Jaguars went on Wednesday and made a trade with Cleveland Browns for quarterback Cody Kessler, securing the backup for their starting QB Blake Bortles. According to the reports, the Jags sent a conditional 2019 seventh-round draft pick to the Browns in exchange for Kessler.

Cody Kessler went on to his Twitter profile after the trade was announced, and wrote that he “can’t wait to get to Jacksonville and get started.”

“We are excited about the opportunity to add Cody as depth to our quarterback position,” – said Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell about team’s newest acquisition. “From our research and through getting to know Cody during the draft process, we know he is a smart, tough and competitive young man, and we expect him to be a great addition to our quarterback and offensive meeting rooms.“

DUUUVAL!!!! Beyond blessed and thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this great organization! I can’t wait to get to Jacksonville and get started! #DUVAL @Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars lost their backup QB in the offseason when they made a decision not to extend Chad Henne’s contract. Henne was benched by the Jaguars in 2014 in favor of Blake Bortles and never started NFL again, playing three times as a relief in three years.

Cody Kessler was taken 93rd overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2016 NFL draft and went on to start in eight games in his rookie season due to injuries of other players. Kessler lost all of those eight games and was third-string quarterback for the team in 2017 season. With the acquisitions of Tyrod Taylor and Drew Stanton, alongside a strong possibility of taking a quarterback in the upcoming draft, it was only natural for Browns to move away from Kessler.

Jacksonville Jaguars could really use some offensive boost in the NFL Wild Card Game against the Buffalo Bills, and wide receiver Marqise Lee is ready to help. Although listed questionable, Lee, who is the team’s leading receivers, says he intends to play unless instructed otherwise.

“In my head, [I’ll] just continue to have my head up as far as me playing,” – he said. “If I had to decide, I am going to play until they decide I’m not.“

Lee suffered an ankle injury early in the game against the Houston Texans and missed the final two games of the season. During the 13 games, he had 56 receptions for 702 yards and three touchdowns. The Jags missed his presence on the field, losing both games Lee was out.

The 26-year-old WR practiced on a limited basis for the first time on Friday and will have his ankle tested on Sunday. Although he wishes to play in the Jags’ first playoff games since 2007, Lee will only do it if he thinks he can help.

“If I felt like I was going to go out there and be hurting and hurt the team, I wouldn’t do it.” – said Lee. “But I feel like I can go out there, give it my all as far as be a solid 100 percent, and go out there and just produce for the team, or just do what they need me to do as far as this point. I feel like I can go out there and do it, so I’m going to go out there and do it.“

Jacksonville Jaguars ended the season at the top of AFC South with a 10-6 record. They will have a home advantage on Sunday when they face the Bills. For the Buffalo Bills, a playoff appearance is reason enough to celebrate since it will be their first one in 17 years.
