Live updates: Bills waste no time putting Jags in a hole on MNF
For the first of four times this season, there will be two Monday Night Football games. In the first kickoff, the 2-0 Buffalo Bills take on the 0-2 Jacksonville Jaguars at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, and in the second game, the 1-1 Washington Commanders head to Cincinnati to take on the 0-2 Bengals at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.
The Bills are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league through two weeks, hanging 34 points on the scoreboard in Week 1 and 31 in Week 2, and Josh Allen has been the maestro for Buffalo’s attack, completing nearly 74% of his passes without throwing an interception. Trevor Lawrence hasn’t been as sharp to start the season for Jacksonville, completing just 51% of his throws through two weeks.
In Cincinnati, the Bengals are no strangers to slow starts — they’ve started 0-2 for the fifth time in the last six seasons — and Joe Burrow will be tasked with another turnaround after losing a nail-biter in Kansas City last week. Washington, meanwhile, got its first win of the Jayden Daniels era in Week 2 over the New York Giants.
Week 4, Week 7 and Week 15 will also have two Monday Night Football games.
