The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a week one win against their in-state rival, the Cleveland Browns. The defense is receiving considerable praise for its performance in that matchup. However, with the Jacksonville Jaguars heading into town on Sunday, they are facing a running back who had a monster game in Week 1.
The Jaguars are coming into town off a dominating win against the Carolina Panthers. Their rushing attack, led by Travis Etienne, fueled their victory.
Heading into Week 2, if the Bengals’ defense is not ready, Etienne could embarrass the defense, thereby relinquishing all of the goodwill they obtained against their division rival.
