"That was just one throw. I was pissed," Coen said. "You know. It is what it is. You know. That's emotion. It's not personal ever. That's just kind of me getting worked up."

Coen also said:

"He threw a dime in the back of the end zone to make a play. I was very pleased with his competitive nature and the way he stayed calm on the sideline. He's pretty even-keeled, which is good for me. I needed that."

In the fourth quarter, Trevor Lawrence tried to make a passing play while targeting wide receiver Dyami Brown. However, Brown dropped the pass, which frustrated Liam Coen. The Jaguars coach then vented his frustration while communicating with Lawerence on the field. However, the quarterback responded by just waving him off.

Lawrence went 24 of 42 for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Cam Little's 25-yard field goal in the fourth quarter gave the Jaguars a 24-27 lead. However, with just 18 seconds remaining in the game, Bengals quarterback Jake Browning scored a rushing touchdown, giving Cincinnati a 31-27 victory.
