this the Payback Tour 2018.It started last week against two-time defending AFC champion New England [url=http://www.Patriotsjerseyproshop.com/jarrett-stidham-jersey/]Color Rush Jarrett Stidham Jersey[/url] , which ended Jacksonville's season in January. The Jaguars won the rematch going away, a 31-20 victory that arguably made them the favorite in the conference.Now, the Jaguars (2-0) get AFC South rival Tennessee. The Titans (1-1) swept the season series in 2017 and have won four of the last five meetings."Losing to a team twice, at their house and here, that wasn't cool," linebacker Myles Jack said Wednesday. "We're not too happy about that. That's obviously being talked about this week. The New England game was one thing, but this is a team that literally beat us twice in one year. We've got to fix that."Tennessee scored 30 unanswered points in the first meeting last year, running for 179 yards, taking advantage of three turnovers and winning 37-16.The Jaguars weren't much better three months later, turning the ball over four times in a 15-10 loss in the final week of the regular season . Jacksonville played all its starters despite having secured the division title."The Titans were the one team we really didn't have an answer for," safety Tashaun Gipson said. "They outplayed us in every facet of the game. We were truly outmatched [url=http://www.Patriotsjerseyproshop.com/jarrett-stidham-jersey/]Youth Jarrett Stidham Jersey[/url] , from the home opener last year to the game before the playoffs."Obviously, we want to get our lick back in a sense."What really irked the Jaguars was talk in Tennessee's locker room suggesting the Titans should have been AFC South champs."I know a lot of people heard about that," Gipson said. "We feel like we're the better team and we feel it's time for us to show it. These are games we're supposed to win."The Titans have been less chatty and more complimentary this week."At the end of the day, they're the division champs and they got that title, so it's going to be key for us to go out there and take it," defensive lineman Jurrell Casey said. "It doesn't matter what happened last year. They're the champs right now and they got the lead in the division."Jacksonville's Payback Tour doesn't end this week, either. The team hosts New York Jets next week. The Jets beat Jacksonville in overtime last year.Throw in the season opener at the New York Giants — Tom Coughlin's first game against the team that pushed him out the coaching door — and it's essentially a four-game stretch of revenge."We've got a lot of rivalries, so to speak, on the schedule," defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. "It's a good temperature gauger of where we are and where we want to be."No team has beaten Jacksonville more times than Tennessee.The Titans handed the Jags their most heartbreaking loss in franchise history, a 33-14 setback in the AFC title game in January 2000. Jacksonville had the NFL's best record [url=http://www.Patriotsjerseyproshop.com/jarrett-stidham-jersey/]Womens Jarrett Stidham Jersey[/url] , home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and even led 14-10 at halftime before collapsing. Tenneesse was the only team to beat Jacksonville that season, accomplishing it three times.The Titans also handed Jacksonville one of its most embarrassing losses in team history, a 36-22 drubbing in 2016 that was much worse than the fine score indicated. The Jags trailed 27-0 at halftime on national television, getting outgained by nearly 300 yards."They really did just beat the (crap) out of us," said defensive tackle Abry Jones, one of seven current Jags defenders who started that game.The Titans have won six of nine in the series.New England had won eight straight against Jacksonville before last week's breakthrough victory. Players spent eight months counting down the days until they faced Tom Brady again.They've waited even longer to play the Titans."Anyway you can find a way to get yourself up for a game," Jack said. "For example, us losing to the them twice would be my motivation. You've got to find a way to hate your opponent."AP Sports Writer Teresa Walker in Nashville, Tennessee, contributed to this report. CINCINNATI BENGALS (7-9)New faces: LT Cordy Glenn, RT Bobby Hart [url=http://www.Patriotsjerseyproshop.com/jarrett-stidham-jersey/]Authentic Jarrett Stidham Jersey[/url] , C Billy Price, LB Preston Brown, S Jessie Bates, DE Sam Hubbard.Key losses: QB AJ McCarron, C Russell Bodine, CB Adam “Pacman” Jones, RB Jeremy Hill, LB Kevin Minter.Strengths: Playmakers at every spot on offense, especially receiver with A.J. Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd and Josh Malone. Second-year RB Joe Mixon is dual threat to run or catch [url=http://www.Patriotsjerseyproshop.com/jarrett-stidham-jersey/]Jarrett Stidham Jersey Boys[/url] , as is veteran Giovani Bernard. QB Andy Dalton coming off subpar year after getting little time to throw. Coordinator Bill Lazor overhauled offense, aiming for more big plays. Deep group of pass rushers led by veteran linemen Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins along with second-year LB Carl Lawson anchors reconfigured defense under new coordinator Teryl Austin. Dunlap and Atkins got multiyear extensions before the final preseason game.Weaknesses: Offensive line was unable to open holes for run game or protect Dalton last season, when Bengals finished last in yards on offense for first time in their history. Overhauled line will be key, and it struggled at times during preseason, especially right side. Bengals counting on Ross and Boyd to have breakout years after disappointing seasons. Also need TE Tyler Eifert to stay healthy coming off back surgery.Fantasy Player To Watch: Mixon. With Hill gone, second-year back moves into primary role. Bengals plan to use him as receiver more, and he’s shown ability to turn short catches into big plays in preseason.Vegas Says: Super Bowl 105-1. Over/under wins 7.Expectations: Decision to bring back coach Marvin Lewis after second straight losing season and 0-7 playoff record sent message of more-of-same in Cincinnati, which operates under change-averse owner Mike Brown and hasn’t won playoff game since 1990 season, sixth-longest stretch of futility in NFL history. Offense failed to use its big-play threats effectively last two seasons, hampered by awful performance on line. Their fate rests largely upon how overhauled line performs.
