Key Takeaways

• Bhayshul Tuten has exceeded 65 rushing yards in every game this season, adding 73 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4, with a 44-yard run noted among big plays; he is positioned as the reliable top back as the season progresses.
• Arik Armstead delivered six pressures in the latest game, extending a stretch of strong interior pass rush and placing him among the league leaders in per-game pressures over the last two weeks; his resurgence strengthens the Jaguars’ defensive line.
• Tight end Brenton Strange set a career-high 95 receiving yards in Week 4, showcasing a clear matchup advantage against Cincinnati’s linebackers and safeties and posting the NFL's top yards-per-route figure for tight ends that week.
• Left tackle Anton Harrison struggled again, credited with five pressures in Week 4 after earlier solid performances, signaling ongoing concerns about the offensive line against strong fronts.
• Rookie Bryan Thomas Jr. saw more snaps on passing downs but did not register a pressure on double-digit rush attempts, highlighting a potential development area on the edge for the Jaguars.
• Cornerback Montaric Brown missed Week 4 with a hamstring injury, compounding worries about the secondary amid impressive play from replacements like Travis Hunter and Jarrian Jones.
• The combination of rising individual performances and ongoing injuries creates a mixed outlook: the Jaguars can build sustained momentum if health and line stability improve, but defensive depth and pass protection remain areas to monitor as the schedule intensifies.
