The two AFC teams participating in Week 13's "Monday Night Football" game are situated in very different states.
For the first time in over ten years, the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-3) will host Monday Night Football (MNF), a contrast to 2011 when starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence was just 12 years old. The Jaguars, positioned third in the AFC, aim for the top seed following a 24-21 victory over the Texans, marked by a stellar defensive performance with four sacks and an offensive display totaling 445 yards.
A ligament injury in his throwing wrist has sidelined quarterback Joe Burrow for the season, leaving the Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) in a rhythm-finding phase. Jake Browning, the backup, gets his second start after a 16–10 loss to the Steelers last week. The return of Tee Higgins from a hamstring injury adds a boost for the Bengals.
