What’s the key Jaguars-Bengals matchup?
Jaguars CB Travis Hunter vs. Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase
Hunter got his first career interception last week and, more importantly, got more snaps as the Jaguars ease him into a full workload after he missed nine games last season with a knee injury.
But he might have his toughest individual matchup of the season against Chase, who has been a Jaguars-killer. In three games against the Jags, he has caught 31 passes for 391 yards and two TDs and in last year's game, caught 14 passes for 165 yards. Chase is off to a bit of a slow start, by his standards, with 18 receptions for 185 yards in the first three games. He has still found the end zone three times.
