Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw a costly interception early in the fourth quarter of the team's NFL Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Jags held off a late Cincinnati rally to hang on for a 22-17 win.
The Bengals dropped to 2-2 this season with the loss.
Burrow passed for 428 yards, with a passing touchdown and rushing TD, but was intercepted twice.
Two of the Bengals' biggest playmakers were injured during the loss.
Receiver Ja'Marr Chase was ruled out early in the second half. He was evaluated for a concussion earlier in the game after taking a nasty hit from the Jags' Ventrell Miller.
Receiver Tee Higgins appeared to suffer a lower-body injury after a catch near the sideline during the fourth quarter, but returned
to the game a short time later. He was not on the field for the Bengals' final drive of the game.
And Bengals' fans weren't thrilled with some of the officiating.

A perfect illustration today of the difficulties playing one dimensional football — especially in the red zone.
Bengals longest run of the year entering Week 5? 13 yards.
