Bengals at Jaguars: Time, how to watch, TV, stream, expert picks, key matchups for ‘Monday Night Football’

For the final game of an already wild Week 13, the Jacksonville Jaguars play host to the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football.”

What should have been a showdown between two of the game’s brightest young quarterbacks is instead not that, thanks to Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury a couple weeks back.

His touchdown toss to Drew Sample, meanwhile, was a naked boot thrown at the line of scrimmage, with nobody near the receiver as he ran 11 yards for the score.
