The Cincinnati Bengals face the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2025 home opener, and Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins are looking to bounce back in a big way. James Rapien breaks down what to watch for in Bengals vs Jaguars Week 2, including key matchups, the Bengals’ offensive line challenge against Josh Allen, how the defense plans to slow down Travis Etienne, Trevor Lawrence, and rookie Travis Hunter, who could be the wild card that makes a huge impact.

Plus, James dives into the Bengals’ secondary questions with Cam Taylor-Britt, Dax Hill, and Geno Stone, plus what Chase Brown needs to do to spark the run game. Finally, James gives his official Bengals vs Jaguars prediction and explains why this game may come down to Evan McPherson vs Cam Little in a kicker duel.

Can the Bengals start 2-0 for the first time in the Zac Taylor and Joe Burrow era? Let’s get into it!
