Cincinnati — Ted Karras, who practiced with an advantage on Thursday, isn’t happy about the Bengals’ three-game losing run. On Monday Night Football, Cincinnati is an 8.5-point underdog against the 8-3 Jaguars.
During Karras’s Bengals career, they have not suffered four straight losses (a five-game losing run from Week 10–14 in 2020).

Karras expressed his anger towards the “edgy” practice by saying, “I’m just a little angry,” That’s how I like to mess around with things occasionally. That concludes our discussion.”
