Bengals 33, Jaguars 23: Rookie Jeremy Hill ran for 154 yards and two touchdowns, including a long scoring burst, as Cincinnati avoided a letdown against lowly Jacksonville and continued its home dominance.
Andy Dalton was 19-of-31 for 233 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Bengals (5-2-1), who have 13 wins and a tie in their last 14 regular-season home games. Emerging wideout Mohamed Sanu made four catches for 95 yards and a score a week after Cincinnati posted a must-win against AFC North rival Baltimore.
Blake Bortles was 22-of-33 for 247 yards with two touchdowns and one costly interception for the Jaguars (1-8), who dropped their second straight since beating Cleveland for their lone victory. Allen Hurns caught seven passes for 112 yards and two scores while Denard Robinson rushed for 94 yards and a TD for a team that entered averaging a league-low 14.8 points.
Hill's 1-yard TD run early in the third quarter gave the Bengals a 19-3 lead, but Bortles found Hurns on scoring passes of 40 and 18 yards sandwiched between an 18-yard touchdown from Dalton to A.J. Green to cut the deficit to 26-16 with 9:55 left in the fourth. An interception by J.T. Thomas led to a 5-yard TD run by Robinson less than two minutes later before Hill broke off right tackle for a 60-yard touchdown to push the advantage back to 10 points.
Bortles drove the Jaguars down the field but was intercepted in the end zone by George Iloka with just under four minutes remaining to seal it. Bortles had two interceptions returned for touchdowns last week in a 27-13 loss to Miami and entered this contest with a league-high 12 picks.
NOTEBOOK: Green, who missed the previous three games with a toe injury, had a 12-yard TD catch in the second quarter called back because he lined up offside. … The Bengals played without RB Giovani Bernard (hip/collarbone), and Hill went out in the second quarter with a knee injury before returning after intermission. … Robinson fell six yards short of becoming the Jaguars' first player to run for 100 in three consecutive games since Maurice Jones-Drew in 2011.
