Trevor Lawrence Finally Gets 1st Win over Bengals as Jaguars Hold on for 22-17 Victory
Trevor Lawrence threw for 227 yards and a touchdown, and Jacksonville’s defense forced two interceptions in its first win over Cincinnati in four tries.
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 22-17 at Paycor Stadium, improving to 3-1 and holding off a late Cincinnati rally.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards but completed 39 of 54 passes with two interceptions, while Jacksonville lost All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a second-quarter concussion.
Jacksonville's defense extended its franchise-record interception streak to nine consecutive games; kicker Cam Little kicked a 54-yard field goal and running back Chris Rodriguez scored on a 25-yard touchdown run.
Cincinnati attempted a final rally, moving to Jacksonville's 21-yard line with two minutes remaining, but the Jaguars' defense stopped Chase Brown one yard short on fourth-and-10, securing the narrow victory.
Jacksonville sits atop the AFC South standings through four weeks and hosts the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday, while the Bengals fall to 2-2 and face the Miami Dolphins in Week 5.
