In an offensive showcase, the Cincinnati Bengals displayed remarkable efficiency on both ground and air. The team's passing game was particularly effective, as they amassed 347 yards through the air with an impressive completion percentage of approximately 85 percent. The quarterback's performance was noteworthy, achieving a passer rating over 100 and connecting for one touchdown pass that went for a significant 76 yards.


The rushing attack complemented the aerial assault well, contributing to an additional 156 yards to the total offense. With an average of over five yards per carry, three rushing touchdowns were recorded; one from just six yards out but proving crucial in securing victory.


Special teams also played their part in this tightly fought contest. The field goal unit successfully converted two out of three attempts, including one from beyond fifty yards which added vital points to the scoreboard.


Defensively, the Bengals were relentless in their pursuit of disrupting Jacksonville's rhythm. They tallied four sacks and seven quarterback hits while forcing six tackles for loss that cumulatively pushed back their opponents by twenty-eight yards. Their defensive efforts resulted in three forced three-and-outs during critical junctures of play.


Penalties could have been costly for Cincinnati but were kept relatively low with only six infractions costing them thirty-five yards throughout the game. Ball security was also commendable as they did not lose any fumbles and limited turnovers to just one interception thrown by their quarterback.


The upcoming home game for Cincinnati will be against Indianapolis Colts at Paycor Stadium on December 10th at around 1 PM local time (EST). Fans can catch all live action broadcasted on CBS as both teams take to turf once again seeking another win under their belts.
