Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence gets a shot at the only AFC team he’s never beaten: Cincinnati
Lawrence is 0-3 against the Bengals, with each loss being more gut-wrenching than the previous one.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is making his first attempt to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals this season. The Jaguars have lost all three of their matchups against the Bengals in Lawrence's professional career. Lawrence acknowledged the importance of the upcoming game, stating that his team needs to turn things around and secure a victory.
He emphasized that the rivalry between the two teams is fueled by a healthy competitiveness between Lawrence and Bengals' quarterback Jake Browning. Lawrence's first encounter with Cincinnati was in 2021, where the Jaguars squandered a 14-0 lead and lost on a last-minute field goal. The rivalry intensified in 2022 when Jacksonville lost on a Monday night field goal at home, with Browning scoring a game-winning 1-yard run in overtime.
Last season, the Bengals' Joe Burrow was injured, leading to Browning's impressive performance in the final minute. The Jaguars' last win against the Bengals was in 2019, with a span of four consecutive defeats.
