Evan Engram Has Season-Best Game Vs. Bengals On Monday

12 months ago

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught nine passes for 82 yards and a score on Monday Night against Cincinnati. The veteran pass-catcher took full advantage of his plus-matchup, absolutely torching the Bengals defense all night. Engram also broke his NFL-leading 84 targets without a touchdown when he caught a quick swing pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence before turning on the burners for a 22-yard score. The former first-round pick's 23.2 PPR points tonight marked a season-high, and his nine receptions marked the second-highest total of the season. While quarterback Trevor Lawrence had to exit the game in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury, Engram was the favorite target of backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, hauling in four passes in only two drives. It was a great all-around performance for Engram, but things do not get easier next week when the Jaguars travel to Cleveland.
