The Story in 60 Seconds

The Cincinnati Bengals suffered a 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Paycor Stadium. Cincinnati played without top wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for most of the contest after he sustained a concussion early in the second quarter. Fellow receiver Tee Higgins also exited in the final minutes due to an abductor injury, leaving the offense severely depleted on their final drive.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards, completing 39 of 54 attempts, but threw a crucial fourth-quarter red-zone interception to linebacker Foyesade Oluokun. Jacksonville's defense stifled Cincinnati's ground attack to just 23 total rushing yards, while tight end Brenton Strange led the Jaguars' offense with 95 receiving yards on seven catches.
