Monday Night Football Live Updates: Bills host Jaguars, Bengals face Commanders in Week 3 Double Dip

Monday Night Football Live Updates: Bills host Jaguars, Bengals face Commanders in Week 3 Double Dip

For the first of four times this season, there will be two Monday Night Football games. The first kickoff pits the 2-0 Buffalo Bills against the 0-2 Jacksonville Jaguars at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, and the second game pits the 1-1 Washington Commanders against the 0-2 Bengals at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.

The Bills are one of the league's highest scoring teams after two weeks, scoring 34 points in Week 1 and 31 in Week 2. Josh Allen was the maestro of Buffalo's offense, completing nearly 74% of his passes without throwing a single interception. Trevor Lawrence was not so great for Jacksonville to start the season, completing just 51% of his throws after two weeks.

In Cincinnati, the Bengals are no stranger to slow starts – they started 0-2 for the fifth time in the last six seasons – and Joe Burrow will have to turn things around again after last week's loss at Kansas City. Washington, meanwhile, picked up its first win of the Jayden Daniels era against the New York Giants in Week 2.

There will also be two Monday Night Football games in Week 4, Week 7 and Week 15.

    With a 30-point lead, the Bills took Josh Allen out of the game and brought in Mitchell Trubisky as quarterback.

    Mac Jones also took over as quarterback for the Jaguars and lost the ball on a sack by Javon Solomon. Casey Toohill recovered the ball at Jacksonville's 21-yard line.

  • Bills 40, Jaguars 10

    Tyler Bass scores his second field goal of the game, extending the Bills' lead back to 30 points, 40-10. This should appease Bills fans a little after he missed an extra point earlier in the game.

  • Bengals TD

    They had to try it on fourth down, but the Bengals finally got their touchdown. Joe Burrow scored a 2-yard touchdown to Andrei Iosivas and we're back to a one-score game in Cincinnati.

    The Commanders now lead 28-20 with 3:03 minutes left in the third quarter.

  • Von Miller sacks Trevor Lawrence on the fourth attempt and goal

    The Jaguars appeared to be on their way to another touchdown, gaining 53 yards in 12 plays. But the offense ran into a wall inside the 10-yard line. Jacksonville was penalized for two false starts, leaving them with a 4th and goal at Buffalo's 17-yard line.

    On the fourth attempt, Lawrence was sacked by Von Miller for a loss of 10 yards.

  • Big man, TD!

    Jayden Daniels' first career touchdown pass goes to an offensive lineman! The Commanders now lead 28-13 in the third quarter.

  • Commanders take it up again immediately

    Austin Ekeler ran the opening kickback 55 yards, giving the Commanders incredible field position to start the second half.

  • Jaguars hold Bills to a field goal

    A small victory for the Jaguars defense?

    Jacksonville still can't stop the Bills, but an 11-play, 61-yard drive ended with Buffalo failing to convert a 3rd-and-7 at Jacksonville's 9-yard line and having to settle for a field goal.

    Buffalo 37, Jaguars 10, 5:03 remaining in the third quarter.

  • Touchdown, Jaguars

    The Jaguars needed to score on their first drive of the second half and did so, capping an eight-play, 70-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Brenton Strange.

    Bills 34, Jaguars 10. Now Jacksonville has to show that it can stop Josh Allen and the Bills offense.

  • Jaguars stay alive after another fourth attempt

    Jacksonville must keep its first drive of the second half alive and converts a 4th and 1 at Buffalo's 39-yard line with a two-yard run by Tank Bigsby.

    The Jaguars moved the ball here because they knew they desperately needed a point.

  • Jayden Daniels throws a dart to set up a TD

    Jayden Daniels just threw a beautiful 55-yard dart to Terry McLaurin for a 4-yard touchdown run for the Commanders. What an incredible throw:

    The Commanders now lead 21-10 with 2:04 minutes left in the first half.

  • Trent Brown carried off the pitch

    Bengals tackle Trent Brown was being carried off the field after his knee gave out while trying to prevent a sack midway through the second quarter. The replay on ABC did not look good at all.
