The Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to square off this week.
At the beginning of the season, this was looking like a great battle between two of the top AFC teams.
But, after an unfortunate season-ending injury to Joe Burrow, this game has lost a lot of its luster.
Yet, there is one interesting rivalry in this game that not many people are talking about.
That is between Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and his brother, Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor.
There is nothing quite like a sibling rivalry in the NFL, especially when they are coaching against each other.
According to Mike Petraglia, Zac Taylor said: “Lots is made of it. He’s somebody I am very proud of. Proud as a big brother. He’s fought for everything he’s got.”

There is no question that Press’ Jaguars will have the upper hand in this game.
Press gets to coach star quarterback Trevor Lawrence while Zac is working with backup Jake Browning.
We have seen many sibling rivalries across the NFL from a coaching standpoint and opposing players.
The most famous one is the Kelce brothers, who are seemingly in the news every week for numerous reasons.
But, the most intense coaching battle was between the Harbaugh brothers in the Super Bowl.
It was Jim Harbaugh when he was with the San Francisco 49ers against John who is still the Baltimore Ravens head coach.
While the Taylor matchup will not have a Super Bowl on the line, it is a major game for both teams needing a win.
