NFL Week 7 Jaguars at Bengals game preview: Of feline and feral

As the calendar chugs along into autumn, the Cincinnati Bengals are in a sadly familiar state of affairs. Whether it’s on-field issues, or disgruntled players off of it, the team has an eerily similar look to that of the 1990s.

This Sunday, they host the up-and-down Jaguars, who are 2-4 on the season. Like Cincinnati, they’ve suffered critical personnel losses, be it by their choice or not, but have steadied the boat in rough waters better than the Bengals.

Jacksonville is a team that “wins ugly”, as they say. The two teams they have beaten have combined for a 4-9 record (Titans and Broncos) and neither win was overly-dominant.
