and Jacksonville Jaguars (-10) clash in this week’s Monday Night Football matchup, a game that looked like an important one in the AFC playoff race earlier this year. However, the Bengals have since dropped out of the race with a season-ending injury to star quarterback Joe Burrow, but they still hope to play spoiler against the Jaguars, who have emerged as one of the AFC’s strongest teams this year.
The Bengals enter Monday night at 5-6 in what has been a frustrating year for their fans. They started the season in a 1-3 hole with Joe Burrow not at 100% health, but soon started to dig themselves out with Burrow playing like his usual self.
