Where Jaguars vs Bengals is decided

Jacksonville’s three touchdowns conceded are level with Minnesota for the fewest in the league, and they convert 88.9% of their own red-zone trips.

Cincinnati’s defence holds up close in too, at 27.3% allowed, but has given up 780 passing yards between the 20s.

Both quarterbacks are playing well, so the margin is likely to come from whichever defence forces the extra field goal.
