EverBank Stadium Set for Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals Showdown

As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to host the Cincinnati Bengals at EverBank Stadium, fans are eager for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The Jaguars, coming off a nail-biting 24-21 victory over the Houston Texans on November 26, have shown resilience and an ability to close out tight games. With an 8-3 record, they're proving to be formidable opponents in this season's NFL lineup.

The JAC defense was relentless against the Texans, racking up four sacks and five tackles for loss while holding their offense in check. This defensive prowess will be crucial when facing the Bengals' dynamic offense. The special teams also played a significant role with punts consistently pinning the opposition within their own 20-yard line.


On offense, JAC's passing game was impressive with 364 yards through the air and a completion percentage of around 61 percent. Despite one interception thrown, they managed to maintain control throughout most of the game. However, it wasn't just through passing that they dominated; their ground game added another dimension with a touchdown contributing to their overall score.


Comparatively, in Week 11 against Tennessee Titans on November 19th at EverBank Stadium itself – which saw them win comfortably with a score of 34-14 – JAC showcased an even more balanced attack between rushing and passing plays leading them towards victory.


However, not all recent memories are fond ones for JAC fans; they must learn from their heavy defeat against San Francisco 49ers back on November 12th where they scored only three points compared to San Francisco's thirty-four. That loss highlighted vulnerabilities particularly in protecting possession as evidenced by two lost fumbles and four turnovers overall.


The upcoming match-up presents both challenge and opportunity for Jacksonville Jaguars as they face off against Cincinnati Bengals who will certainly test both sides of the ball for JAC. It is imperative that Jacksonville maintains its defensive solidity while continuing its offensive momentum if it hopes to secure another win under its belt.


Jaguars' fans should mark their calendars for December 4th when these two teams clash at EverBank Stadium starting at 8:15 PM ET. The game can be watched live on ABC/ESPN networks where supporters can expect an intense battle as both teams vie for supremacy on the gridiron.
