Bengals Lose to Jaguars Despite Burrow’s 428 Yards

The Cincinnati Bengals fell to 2-2 after a 22-17 loss to Jacksonville, their second straight defeat, despite Joe Burrow throwing for 428 yards and a touchdown and adding a rushing score. Cincinnati managed just 23 rushing yards, and Burrow said he was comfortable leaning more on the passing game, citing confidence in the offense and its pass protection. Ja’Marr Chase left with a concussion and Tee Higgins aggravated an injury, leaving Burrow with depleted receiving options for a late drive that came up a yard short. Burrow threw two interceptions, extending a recent run of turnovers, but said he was not concerned and remained confident in the team. His late-game record has drawn criticism, while Bengals great Ken Anderson has defended him, saying Burrow need not be perfect for Cincinnati to win.
