It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Except flip those.
The Cincinnati Bengals took the field on Thursday night to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Paul Brown Stadium in their only prime time game of the 2021 season and looked flat, allowing the Jags to jump out to a 14-0 lead at the end of the first half.
Even though Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense were able to move the ball down the field, thanks to an early missed field goal attempt by Evan McPherson, they couldn’t put any points up on the board.
