The booth Bengals 🎙️ THE BOOTH 9d ago

The booth on 116 points between Jaguars and Bengals

Riley Parker: "Jacksonville had 256 rushing yards and still lost by 20—the Jags couldn't afford to leave that many points on the field when Stafford and Chase were operating at 6 and 4 touchdowns respectively."

116 points between Jaguars and Bengals

Cincinnati beat Jacksonville 68-48 in a shootout where Matthew Stafford's arm decided it. Stafford went 17 of 25 for 453 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Ja'Marr Chase caught 6 passes for 164 yards and 4 of those scores. Trevor Lawrence kept Jacksonville in it with 14 of 24 for 262 yards and 4 touchdowns of his own, but Cincinnati's 453 passing yards to Jacksonville's 262 proved the difference despite the Jaguars outrushing Cincinnati 256 to 105.

Per OVR point is a division, not a verdict — a cap hit over an overall rating, nothing more. Whether a number is a problem depends on the position and the player, and that is your call rather than the site's. There is no "cut him and save this much" here on purpose: a release in Madden carries dead money, and the export does not carry the figure — so that saving is not something this site can work out, and guessing at it would be guessing at the one number that decides whether the advice is any good.
