- Cincinnati Bengals 34–31 Jacksonville Jaguars (OT)
- Bengals backup throws for 354 yards and a touchdown
- Trevor Lawrence believed to have sprained ankle
Jake Browning threw for 354 yards and a touchdown in his second career start, and the Cincinnati Bengals stunned the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 in overtime on Monday night.
Browning also ran for a score as the Bengals (6-6) won on Monday Night Football for the first time since 1990 on Evan McPherson’s 48-yard field goal. More than the result may prove costly for the Jaguars (8-4), who lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence to a right ankle injury late in the fourth quarter. Left tackle Walker Little stepped on Lawrence’s ankle, causing him to twist it as he was sacked. Lawrence tried to get up, but dropped to the ground, ripped off his helmet and threw it away in disgust. He was helped off the field and into the tunnel for X-rays. ESPN’s Adam Schefter later reported initial tests showed Lawrence sprained his ankle. The quarterback will undergo further examination on Tuesday. Lawrence is yet to miss a game in his three-year NFL career.
