It was something we all thought probably would happen at some point, and hopefully, the reactions were swift and decisive enough to nip any problems in the bud.

29. Jacksonville Jaguars, 1-3 (28)
They are the first team to lose to Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, but probably won’t be the last. It probably also won’t be their last loss. They are… well… they are not good. At football. That’s a problem when you are a football team.
