In spite of some strong performances, the Jacksonville Jaguars came up short against a Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals. The offense moved the ball, and—at least in the first half—the defense made stops. Still, the Jags are now 1-1, which is about the place most analysts might have projected. They came into the season with a lot of hope and untested talent—and a lot of tested talent looking to prove they belonged.
And while talking heads have been doing their thing for months, fans weren't quite sure what to expect. The Jags' performance in Week 1—despite its faults—led to an impressive showing and a dominant performance.
