Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen needs two sacks to match Tony Brackens’ franchise record of 55. Hines-Allen came close to taking down Carolina’s Bryce Young in the opener but couldn’t get him on the ground.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' defense faces a tough test on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals offense and elite quarterback Joe Burrow.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sounds like he wants to be more aggressive as a playmaker for the home opener at Paycor Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That Week 2 contest comes on the heels of Burrow throwing for just 113 yards and a score in the season-opening win.

Not that Joe Burrow or anyone else is going to complain about improved defensive play, but Bengals fans − the Bengals themselves, even − expect explosive plays and high-octane offense.

Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow faced immense pressure from the Browns defense all day during their Week 1 matchup at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland Ohio.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals will get their first look at Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter on Sunday in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was impressed with Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter's ball skills heading into a Week 2 matchup between the two teams.

Joe Burrow is a student of the game who just got his first big bit of study material to chew on during the 2025 season. The Bengals' quarterback discussed his tape breakdown on Wednesday following an uneven performance against the Browns that produced a win but also just 17 points and 113 passing yards.

The way Burrow and the offense hummed in the first half made it appear that the changes to the preseason, camp, joint practices, and overall health all paid off. They scored a touchdown on two of the first three drives, with each drive lasting at least six plays. Then the bottom fell out.

The goal for quarterback Joe Burrow the Cincinnati Bengals was to be 1-0 on Monday morning. Beating the Cleveland Browns by a single point, 17-16, accomplished that goal, no matter how ugly the game looked at times.
