Cincinnati Bengals struggle again in loss to Jacksonville Jaguars
Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals faced their second consecutive defeat, falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars 22-17 at Paycor Stadium on October 1, 2026. The Bengals' offense demonstrated a troubling predictability, struggling without star receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who exited the game due to injuries. Quarterback Joe Burrow is under pressure as he navigates an ineffective running game, with limited yardage from Chase Brown and Samaje Perine. Head coach Zac Taylor must address these issues to revitalize the offense before their upcoming matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
