3. All.The.Way.Back. Sunday became one-sided in fitting fashion, with a Jaguars takeaway turning a tight game into a comfortable Jaguars lead midway through the second quarter. The Jaguars led 14-7 with the Titans driving just past midfield. Allen, playing for injured starter Cam Ward, threw errantly to Ayomanor on third-and-18 from the Jaguars 45. Jaguars safety Antonio Johnson intercepted and returned the interception untouched for 58 yards and a 21-7 lead with 8:07 remaining in the first half. “Every time I catch the ball, I think I have the end zone,” Johnson said. “This time it became reality. I looked to my left, there were a whole bunch of people. I looked right and there was nothing but linemen. I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. My chance is over there.’ I took off and when I hit the corner, I knew I had it.” It was Johnson’s fifth interception of the season, his first career NFL touchdown and the Jaguars’ 31st takeaway of the season after finishing last season with an NFL-low nine takeaways. “It seems like every week he’s making a big play for us and stepping up in critical moments,” Coen said of Johnson said. “That play really kind of took this game into a different direction. I really am proud of Antonio and the way that he’s continued to grow.”
