Arkansas Bengal Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Jeremy Hill’s big day helps Bengals beat the Jaguars Posted by Michael David Smith on November 2, 2014, 4:18 PM EST AP Bengals running back Giovani Bernard was out, and backup running back Jeremy Hill stepped up. Hill, a rookie who got the start today against the Jaguars, had an outstanding game and led the way as Cincinnati won 33-23. Hill gained 154 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns, a one-yard run in the third quarter and a 60-yard run in the fourth quarter that pretty well put the game away. The Jaguars stayed competitive into the fourth quarter and actually looked like they were going to make a game of it late, but the Jaguars’ last-gasp effort to come back ended with Blake Bortles throwing an interception into the end zone. That interception was a big mistake, but Bortles did show off a strong arm at times and completed 20 of 31 passes for 220 yards, with two touchdowns. Jacksonville also got a good game out of running back Denard Robinson, who had 17 carries for 94 yards and showed that he belongs as a starting running back in the NFL. But Hill was the best running back on the field, which was particularly important because Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was nothing special, completing 19 of 31 passes for 233 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dalton’s targets on his touchdown passes were Mohamed Sanu and the returning A.J. Green, who caught only three passes but did look good after missing time with a toe injury. The win improes the Bengals to 5-2-1 and keeps them in good shape in the AFC playoff race. For the 1-8 Jaguars, it’s time to play out the string, and hope players like Robinson and Bortles can develop into something resembling a good team. The Jaguars are far from that right now. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/02/jeremy-hills-big-day-helps-bengals-beat-the-jaguars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm glad he pulled Andy's bright orange pubes out of the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
