The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Cincinnati Bengals on the road on 4 October, moving to 3-1 in the AFC South. Yahoo Sports’ account of the game reports that Jacksonville’s defence held Cincinnati to 23 rushing yards on 15 carries and intercepted quarterback Joe Burrow twice.

The result leaves the Jaguars atop the division standings listed in the account. The Indianapolis Colts are 2-2, while the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans are each 0-4.

Travis Hunter played all 76 defensive snaps and recorded two pass break-ups, according to Yahoo Sports. An interception by Hunter was nullified after a roughing-the-passer penalty and was not among the two credited to Jacksonville.

On offence, Brenton Strange made seven receptions for a career-high 95 receiving yards. The account says Jacksonville is scheduled to play its next two games in England before a Week 7 bye.
