Bengals beat Jaguars in OT, record first Monday Night Football road win since 1990

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Bengals are still "on the bubble" in the NFL playoff picture, and a win over the Jaguars in prime time keeps their hopes alive.

Cincinnati kicked things off with a first down after two rushing attempts and a pass to start the game. They moved into Jaguars territory but failed to convert a 4th and 3, giving Jacksonville the ball with great field position.

Jacksonville was able to march down the field in less than four minutes, with running back Travis Etienne scoring the first touchdown of the game.

Two big plays from running backs Joe Mixon and Chase Brown helped the Bengals to Jacksonville's 39-yard line on the ensuing possession, but a failed trick play pushed Cincinnati back and resulted in an Evan McPherson miss from 57 yards out.

Cincinnati's defense got a stop on Jacksonville's next possession, leading to the Bengals' longest drive of the season. Jake Browning and company went 92 yards — some of which gained on an amazing one-handed catch by Ja'Marr Chase.

Mixon was able to run it in from the 6-yard line to tie things up.

That tie didn't last for long as Evan Engram scored his first touchdown of the year to put Jacksonville up 14-7.

Cincinnati was able to once again march down the field, resulting in another Mixon touchdown to even things out at 14-all.

The Bengals got their first lead of the night after their longest play from scrimmage this season — a 76-yard touchdown pass to Chase.

After having zero catches all season, Jaguars rookie Parker Washington had his own catch of the year submission on the next drive. A pass from Trevor Lawrence barely made it past safety Dax Hill to Washington for a Jacksonville touchdown.

Then, just as it seemed like the Bengals offense had things under control, another trick play resulted in Tyler Boyd throwing an interception to Jaguars defensive end Josh Allen. It set up a 4th and goal quarterback sneak by Lawrence to give Jacksonville a 28-21 lead.

In the fourth quarter, a 4th and 3 pass to Chase in the red zone led to a Jake Browning quarterback sneak at the goal line to make it 28-28.

After Jacksonville marched down to near the 20-yard line, Lawrence fell down with an apparent ankle injury. He needed help leaving the field and was taken directly to the locker room.

The Jaguars attempted a 48-yard field goal, but kicker Brandon McManus missed.

Cincinnati got the ball back at its own 35-yard line, getting down to Jacksonville's 36 with under three minutes to go. McPherson made a 54-yarder to give the Bengals a 31-28 lead.

Jaguars backup C.J. Beathard was able to lead Jacksonville to the Cincinnati 22-yard line. McManus made a 40-yarder to tie things up with just under 30 seconds to go.

The Bengals weren't able to get into field goal range before the end of regulation, sending the game into overtime.

Jacksonville got the ball first, but was unable to score a touchdown or field goal.

Cincinnati got the ball at its own 28, and another huge catch by Chase got them to midfield.

Money Mac was able to give the Bengals a 34-31 win, knocking in a 48-yard field goal to end it.

With Burrow out for the season, Browning continues to improve as the starting quarterback. He threw for more than 350 yards and one touchdown in the win.

This is the first time Cincinnati has won a Monday Night Football road game since 1990. The Bengals had lost three straight Monday night games heading into the game.
