Jake Browning passed for 241 yards in relief of the injured Joe Burrow and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard sneak with 18 seconds remaining as the Cincinnati Bengals rallied for a 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow suffered a left toe injury in the first half and did not return, an ominous sign for the Bengals and their franchise quarterback. The Bengals moved to 2-0 for the first time since 2018, while the Jaguars fell to 1-1. Browning led a 15-play, 92-yard drive for the decisive score on which he completed 9 of 12 passes for 65 yards.

Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and Baltimore’s defense harrassed Joe Flacco throughout his return to Charm City as the Ravens dispatched the Cleveland Browns 41-17. After holding Cincinnati to 141 yards in a one-point loss to the Bengals last week, the Cleveland defense delivered another inspired performance, limiting Derrick Henry to just 24 yards on 11 rushing attempts and forcing the Ravens to work for every inch. But the Browns were mostly inept on offense. Flacco, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback for the Ravens playing his first game in Baltimore as an opposing player, went 25 for 45 for 199 yards and a touchdown, with an interception and a lost fumble.
