The #Bengals are now 2-2 after losing to the Jaguars and Ja'Marr Chase is now part of a growing list of injured players. But there is reprieve in sight: a trip to winless Miami next week and a suddenly helpful bye in Week 6. www.cleveland.com/bengals/2026...

The Bengals are 2-2 and banged up, but a favorable schedule and a well-timed bye week may be exactly what Cincinnati needs to right the ship

The Bengals lost to the the Jaguars on Sunday, 22-17, at Paycor Stadium.

In only two plays, the #Bengals are out to the Jacksonville 35.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Burrow and the short-handed #Bengals receiving corps have 83 yards and 1:44 to go to win. They also have no timeouts.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Jacksonville will punt after a delay of game. #Bengals wisely don't flinch despite a ton of attempts from Trevor Lawrence to get an offside.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Middle-field pass defense again hurts the #Bengals as the Jags convert on a 15-yard throw to Strange.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

#Bengals have life after Joe Burrow sneaks off right guard for a 1-yard touchdown. 22-17 Jaguars lead with 3:28 to play.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Tee Higgins is back. He also just caught a pass and took it to the Jaguars' 30. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Chris Rodriguez Jr. find the end zone on a 25-yard touchdown, sending some #Bengals fans to the exits at Paycor. 2-point try fails, making it 22-10 Jacksonville, 6:35 4Q.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Cam Little lined up from 63, but a too-many men penalty on the #Bengals pushed it up to a meager 58-yard try. And.....the Jaguars punted, and it went into the end zone.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

I wonder if Burrow didn't see Oluokun waiting to jump the pass to Mitchell Tinsley. Second time an LB has picked him off this year. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 17h

Trevor Lawrence just missed a wide open Brenton Strange, who would've easily had a touchdown. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

Burrow just threw a sensational pass to Tee Higgins before tossing his second INT of the game, this time to Foye Oluokun. #Bengals blow a great opportunity to take a lead early in the fourth quarter.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

Still a 16-10 Jags lead as we head to the fourth. Burrow has heated up this half, and he and Higgins are getting plenty of help. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

Dohnte Meyers with a 29-yard reception, maybe the biggest play of his young #Bengals career, as he and Burrow connect to convert on 3rd-and-16.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

Spotlighted the Parker Washington-DJ Turner battle on Thursday. Washington nearly had a TD on Turner but couldn't complete the catch. Little from 54 is good. 16-10 Jags, 3:00 3Q. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

Timeout Jacksonville before what feels like a pivotal 3rd-and-6 at the Jags 29. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

#Bengals get a much-needed TD drive to open the second half as Burrow finds Mike Gesicki for a 12-yard score. It's a 13-10 Jacksonville lead with 8:44 left in 3Q. Also, the Jaguars now have 11 penalties, four away from tying their total for the season.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

With Chase out, any hopes of a #Bengals comeback depend on a big second half by Tee Higgins. He's off to a good start with a 16-yard catch on a back shoulder throw by Burrow.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

We've hit the half at Paycor. Some boos from the home fans as the #Bengals trail the Jaguars, 13-3.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 18h

#Bengals with a hold and illegal hands to the face in the last few plays. They now have six penalties in the first half to Jacksonville's 10.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Brian Thomas Jr. wide open in the middle of the end zone for the first TD of the game that isn't wiped out by a penalty (I think there have been 3 that didn't count). Jags cash in on the Joe Burrow INT and now have a 13-3 lead, 1:23 2Q. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Flag No. 10 on Jacksonville wipes out another Tuten TD. Another reminder, but the Jaguars had just 15 penalties over the first three games. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Joe Burrow picked off by Jourdan Lewis, and Dalton Risner was shaken up as well on the play. Looked like a hit on Burrow may have caused him to shortarm a pass for Dohnte Meyers. Jags ball at the #Bengals 18.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Jaguars have the No. 8 run defense in the NFL, and the #Bengals can't find traction against it. Just 17 net yards rushing on nine carries.

110

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Back-to-back big PBUs by Barrett Carter and DJ Ivey force the Jaguars to settle for another Cam Little FG, this one a chip shot for every NFL kicker (27 yards). 6-3 is the #Bengals' deficit, 4:16 2Q.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Bhayshul Tuten's 44-yard TD is wiped out by a hold. Jacksonville's 8th penalty of the game and we still have 7:42 until halftime. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Ja'Marr Chase walking to the locker room with a towel over his head. #Bengals

010

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

2 Jaguars penalties put the #Bengals into scoring range. But a Dylan Fairchild hold wiped out a Samaje Perine touchdown and forced them to settle for a 29-yard Evan McPherson FG. 3-3 tie with 10:03 left in 2Q.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Jacksonville with 7 penalties for 70 yards. For context, they've had 15 all season, tied for the fewest in the NFL. Also, their offense has gained 74 yards. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Ja'Marr Chase just got ripped down by the facemask from Jaguars corner Jarrian Jones. #Bengals superstar receiver just now walking off the field and Hunter came over to check on him on his way to the sideline.

010

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Joe Burrow tied Patrick Mahomes for the fewest games needed to reach 2,000 career completions. 3-0 Jaguars lead after 1Q, but the #Bengals are on the move.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

Travis Hunter's interception wiped out by a roughing the passer on Arik Armstead, whose sack caused Joe Burrow's turf toe a year ago. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

3-0 Jaguars after Cam Little hits a 55-yard field goal with 2:18 left in the first quarter. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 19h

5 penalties already for Jacksonville. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 20h

A couple of plays after a Jordan Battle missed tackle on 3rd-and-18, the Jaguars are in Cam Little's field goal range. Which, honestly, might as well be from Jacksonville's 10. #Bengals

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 20h

Dohnte Meyers nearly had an 81-yard touchdown, were it not for an Eric Murray tackle. Bubble screen blocked beautifully. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 20h

#Bengals defense with a strong start. Mafe with a sack-fumble of Trevor Lawrence - negated by a hold - followed by a Knight TFL on a run play and a Jordan Battle stop for a short gain, forcing a 3-and-out. That front seven will need to be great today, and they were to start.

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 20h

Ameer Abdullah's long return past midfield wiped out by a holding call. Jags to start back at their 20. #Bengals

000

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 20h

#Bengals won the toss and will defer. DJ Turner II and Dexter Lawrence at midfield for the Bengals and they'll be on the field right away along with a depleted secondary missing Jalen Davis, Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger.

Tim Bielik @timbielik.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The #Bengals defense showed that it's human on Sunday vs. the Steelers, and a late fumble kept Joe Burrow from saving the day for Cincinnati. www.cleveland.com/bengals/2026...

ICYMI, the #CBJ are facing a crisis with Zach Werenski and Kirill Marchenko reportedly not willing to re-sign. It's a crisis that not only requires a bold decision, but also a reevaluation from ownership on down of how to fix a continual problem.
