In a battle of rookie QB's, our boy red rifle outperformed Blaine Gabbert to lead the Bengals to a 30-20 come from behind win.
This game was not pretty in anyway, but a win is a win and that's all that matters.
To me the biggest play of the game had to be when Marvin decided to go for it on 4th and 6th with a little over 4 minutes left in the game. Instead of kicking a field goal to cutting the lead down to 19-20, the Bengals actually went for it and ended up with a TD. I honestly didn't think Marvin had guts to go for it, not because he never takes many chances, but because 3rd down has been a struggle for the Bengals all season long.
Both Dalton and Green had another solid outing as they continue their impressive rookie campaign.
Dalton ended up with 179 yards with 2 TD's and 1 INT. And Green ended up with 5 catches for 90 yards and a TD.
The running game was just horrendous against the Jags. With the offensive line unable to create many openings, Benson had a hard time getting going. But what a great call on 3rd and goal, when everyone thought it was going to be a pass, Jay Gruden call for a simple inside hand off to Bernard Scott.
With only one blown coverage by the defense that lead to a Jason Hill TD, the defense again played an outstanding second half.
The defense kept up pressure on Blaine Gabbert through out the game. It seemed like Gabbert had a hard time getting into any kind of rhythm. This Bengals defense truly seems like a top 5 defense.
With this win the Bengals are keeping pace with division leaders Steelers and Ravens.
Who else think both Mike Nugget and Hubber and early season team MVP candidates?

I'm glad the boys on the D-line got a well deserved TD.
