The Jacksonville Jaguars eeked out a win<\/a> over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4 to move to 3-1 on the season.<\/p>\n

Here are a few stats that stand out from the victory.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how many yards the Jaguars were penalized on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most by Jacksonville since Week 7 of the 2019 season\u2026 when the Jags beat the Bengals in Cincinnati, 27-17.<\/p>\n

Head coach Liam Coen said after the game, \u201cI\u2019ve never been a part of anything like that before in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jaguars had 10 penalties for 125 yards, and the Bengals weren\u2019t far behind (11 for 108). And the teams really weren\u2019t that sloppy. Sure, there were a few obvious calls, but most of the flags should\u2019ve been picked up. Or not called in the first place.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville had two touchdowns, an interception, and a lengthy kickoff return nullified by penalties. They still found a way to get the job done. Though they may not have beaten the \u201ccan\u2019t stop great passers\u201d allegations, they did quiet the \u201ccan\u2019t finish ball games\u201d concerns.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how many rushing yards the Jaguars allowed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the fifth-fewest in franchise history.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville has now gone 21 straight games without allowing a single rusher to reach 75 yards on the ground. That\u2019s the fourth-longest streak by any team in the Super Bowl era, per ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bengals starter Chase Brown couldn\u2019t get anything going \u2014 he finished with 10 rushing yards on 9 carries. Joe Burrow and Samaje Perine chipped in 6 and 7 yards, respectively, on 3 carries apiece. That adds up to 1.5 yards per rush for Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Burrow may have thrown for 428 yards, but he wasn\u2019t all that efficient. The Jaguars held him to 7.9 yards per attempt. He had more interceptions (2) than touchdowns (1). By completely shutting down the run, Jacksonville forced Cincinnati to be one-dimensional on offense. Burrow couldn\u2019t get the job done.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the ratio of how often Jarrian Jones was targeted in coverage compared to Travis Hunter on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hunter was targeted 6 times, per PFF. He allowed 3 catches for 20 yards while notching 2 pass breakups.<\/p>\n

Jones was targeted EIGHTEEN TIMES, allowing 11 catches for 133 yards. He had 1 pass breakup.<\/p>\n

Jones finished with a 59.6 coverage grade, which seems about right, but there should probably be a grading curve. The guy was going against some elite receivers in Ja\u2019Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. After Chase left the game in the first half with a concussion, Higgins became the focal point of Cincinnati\u2019s offense, and Jones matched up against him for much of the game.<\/p>\n

Half of Jones\u2019 targets in coverage went to Higgins. He finished with 4 catches for 56 yards against Jones, compared to 7 catches for 101 yards against all other Jaguars defenders.<\/p>\n

It was far from Jones\u2019 best game \u2014 but it\u2019s not like he was burned over and over again. He did just enough to help Jacksonville pull out a road victory against a playoff contender. He didn\u2019t come close to acing the test, but in my book, he passed it.<\/p>\n

Hunter had an easier assignment than Jones, but man oh man, he passed this week\u2019s test with flying colors. He had a teach tape PBU<\/a>, a leaping PBU<\/a>, a colossal tackle<\/a>, and a filthy interception<\/a> negated by a penalty. The Heisman Trophy winner earned an 80.8 coverage grade from PFF.<\/p>\n
