Off a rousing win over the Steelers, Zac Taylor’s club hosted the Chargers. The stunned Bengals were down, 24-0, in the second quarter and narrowes the gap to just two points midway through the third quarter. But Cincinnati was done scoring for the day.
Taylor’s team sacked Justin Herbert four times and forced three turnovers. But Joe Burrow was dropped six times. And a Joe Mixon fumble that was returned for a TD was a momentum killer.
10. team. 51. . 8-4. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams
Sean McVay’s club took a three-game losing streak into Sunday’s clash with the Jaguars. Veteran Matthew Stafford had thrown a pick-six in each of those setbacks. But there would be no turnovers by the team on Sunday as the Rams rolled up 418 total yards.
Sony Michel ran for 121 yards and one score, Stafford hit on 26-of-38 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns and the Los Angeles’ defensive unit limited Jacksonville to a mere 197 total yards.
