Jacksonville Jaguars Look to Rebound Against Buffalo Bills in Week 3
The Jacksonville Jaguars enter Week 3 of the NFL season with a significant opportunity to improve their standing in the AFC South. Following the losses of their divisional rivals, the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, the Jaguars are poised to climb the ranks if they secure a victory against the Buffalo Bills on ‘Monday Night Football’.
The Jaguars, currently 5.5-point underdogs, remain optimistic given their recent performances against the Bills. Historically, Jacksonville holds a 10-9 record against Buffalo, winning three of their last four encounters, including a noteworthy win in 2021 with a score of 9-6.
The matchup features a newly reformed Bills team, who recently showcased their dominant form with a convincing 31-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. In that game, Bills quarterback Josh Allen demonstrated efficiency by completing 13 of 19 passes for 139 yards, while running back James Cook scored three touchdowns.
On the other hand, the Jaguars are looking to recover from an 0-2 start, attributed largely to their struggling offense. Key players such as quarterback Trevor Lawrence, rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., former Bills receiver Gabe Davis, and running back Travis Etienne need to step up their performance to turn their season around.
Monday night’s game is also notable for an unusual quarterback matchup narrative. Previously, Jaguars defensive end Josh Allen was often humorously linked with sacking Bills quarterback Josh Allen due to their shared names. The current storyline involves Josh Hines-Allen, after a name change.
Fans eager to watch the game have multiple options. Those in the Jacksonville area can view it on Fox30, while ESPN will broadcast it nationally. Streaming options include FuboTV and NFL+, with FuboTV offering a free seven-day trial for new subscribers.
