The game ended with the Cincinnati Bengals securing a 31-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium. They suffered a big setback when starting quarterback Joe Burrow was injured in the second quarter. Jake Browning came in as his replacement and completed 21 of the 32 passes he attempted for 241 yards, along with three total touchdowns and three interceptions.

On the other hand, Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of the 42 passes he attempted for 271 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions to his name. The Jagurs had a 24-27 lead in the fourth quarter after Cam Little's 25-yard field goal.

However, with just 18 seconds remaining, Jake Browning scored a rushing touchdown to seal the win for the Bengals. Trevor Lawrence had the chance for one final attempt. However, he was sacked in that play, leaving no time for the Jaguars to play another snap.

Before this Week 2 contest, Liam Coen's team secured a 26-10 victory over the Panthers in their season opener. In that game, Lawrence had recorded 178 yards and one touchdown passing while throwing one interception.


Liam Coen opens up about his heated moment with Trevor Lawrence on the field

In the post-game press conference, the Jaguars coach revealed more details about his heated moment with his quarterback.

Coen said that it was nothing serious, as emotions got the better of him after that pass from Lawrence. He then went on to praise the quarterback's performance.

"It was just one throw," Coen said as per SI. "I was pissed. That's emotion- it's not personal ever. That's just kind of me getting worked up. He threw a dime in the back of the end zone to make a play. I was very pleased with his competitive nature and the way he stayed calm on the sideline. He's pretty even-keeled, which is good for me. I needed that."

The Jaguars next face the Houston Texans at EverBank Stadium on Sept. 21.
