The Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) host the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) for their only primetime game of the 2021 season. This could change, of course, but for now, Thursday night will be the only time we’ll see the Bengals play under the bright lights of primetime.
Fortunately, it’s a very winnable game for the stripes, as they’ll host a winless Jacksonville squad that is trotting out a rookie quarterback in front of what should be a raucous crowd at Paul Brown Stadium. Good luck, Trevor Lawrence.
The Bengals are as big of favorites in this game as they’ve been in quite some time so let’s see if Madden thinks they’ll live up to the hype.
