The Bengals had great fortune to beat the Jaguars in overtime who lost Trevor Lawrence to a chilling ankle injury. Jake Browning was Cincy’s quarterback on a magical night where he surpassed 300 yards and a pass to the end zone.
On the other hand, Jacksonville returned to be home on Monday Night Football after two years, and fortune was not on its side to fall in one of the most surprising defeats of the season.
The Bengals’ victory came with a field goal with less than two minutes in overtime and with drama included, as a handkerchief flew, but it was a punishment for unsportsmanlike conduct against Jags and thus the victory of Cincinnati.
Jake Browning threw for 354 yards and a touchdown in the second start of his career, and the Cincinnati Bengals they surprised the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 in overtime on Monday night.
Browning also ran for a score when the Bengals (6-6) won on “Monday Night Football” for the first time since 1990 with a 48-yard field goal from Evan McPherson in the extra frame. This was shocking and potentially costly for the Jaguars (8-4), who lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence due to a right ankle injury late in the fourth quarter.
Left tackle Walker Little stepped on Lawrence’s ankle, causing him to sprain it while being sacked. Lawrence tried to get up, but fell to the ground, took off his helmet, and threw it away in disgust. They helped him off the field and into the tunnel for x-rays.
Trevor Lawrence changes MNF development
A stellar night ended for Lawrence, who completed 22 of 29 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran to score.
Browning was equally strong in place of star Joe Burrow, who watched and coached from the sidelines while wearing a cast and sling. Browning completed 32 of 37 passes and led the overtime drive that set up McPherson’s game-winning goal. McPherson, who played collegiately at nearby Florida, hit a 57-yard shot off the crossbar in the same direction early in the game.
He suplente de Jacksonville, C.J. Beathard, He completed 9 of 10 passes for 63 yards in relief of Lawrence. Beathard put the Jaguars in position for the 40-yard field goal of Brandon McManus with 26 seconds left in regulation time.
Ja’Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown, a 76-yard pass in the third quarter that got the Bengals going.
Joe Mixon ran for 68 yards and two touchdowns, and rookie Chase Brown added 61 yards on the ground for the league’s worst rushing attack. Mixon also had six receptions for 49 yards.
The Bengals made it harder than it should have been when coach Zac Taylor made a trick play that turned into a debacle at third.
Browning targeted receiver Tyler Boyd, who inexplicably threw directly to pass rusher Josh Allen. Allen caught the ball for the second interception of his career. The Jaguars scored four plays later when Lawrence jumped and stretched the ball across the goal line.
