Bullied into submission by a dominant Cincinnati Bengals defensive line, the Jacksonville Jaguars offense looked like a shell of its former self in the third week of the preseason.
Widely regarded as a dress rehearsal, the third week of the preseason gives teams a chance to see what the starters can do for an extended period of time. For Blake Bortles and the Jaguars that meant putting up just three points.
Bortles and company aren’t used to being so completely stuffed. The Bengals are a playoff contender every year (going to the playoffs five years straight) and the Jags looked outmatched, completely taking the wind out of the sails of the Jags hype that has been brewing all season.
