Personal takeaways: Jaguars dominated this game more than the score says. Bengals got a late TD with 20 seconds left and the Jaguars only capitalized on 1 TD in 6 tries through the redzone. This game could have easily been an absolute bloodbath. Not sure if it speaks more to the Jaguars or the Bengals but I would have to lean toward the latter. Something worth noting is that either the Bengals rushing attack is that bad or the Jaguars rush defense is that good, as Mixon had 10 carries for 2 yards.
