Quick Take: Bengals hit road again vs. Jaguars

Published: Sep 26, 2012 at 12:56 PM

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Week 4 primer:
» Ranking games in order of intrigue

Why this game is intriguing: These two young-ish teams don't quite have the name recognition yet to lure in the big audience. Watch Bengals receiver A.J. Green a few times, though, and that might change.

What to watch: One indication this could be upset city? No one is worse at stopping the run than the Bengals. And Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew showed he's back last week with a 177-yard burst against the Colts. Bad matchup for Cincinnati. And if Blaine Gabbert can show efficiency early, we'll see the Jags' offense hit on all cylinders.
