Unable to overcome multiple busts, Jacksonville Jaguars fall to Cincinnati Bengals in 219.70-136.58 runaway
Impeded by multiple starters who put up goose eggs (DJ Chark Jr., James Proche II, Andre Cisco, and Jason Myers), Jacksonville Jaguars were unable to overcome Cincinnati Bengals, which cruised to a 219.70-136.58 win. Cincinnati Bengals got out to an early 16.80-point lead on Thursday. Jacksonville Jaguars came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by C.J. Mosley (16.5 points) and Grant Delpit (10). Not to be deterred, Cincinnati Bengals got it going later that afternoon, as Joe Burrow (28.1 points) and Tee Higgins (24.8) put them back ahead once and for all. Cincinnati Bengals (8-3) will look to maintain their momentum against Minnesota Vikings, while Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) face Baltimore Ravens in an effort to right the ship.
While racking up 72 yards from scrimmage and running for a touchdown against the Raiders, Murray tallied 17.2 points this week. His scoring output more-than-tripled his 4.81-point projection and was much higher than his 7.93-point season scoring average. Murray will face the Panthers next week.
