JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It’s been a relatively smooth start for the Jaguars against the struggling Jets.
Trevor Lawrence has thrown three touchdown passes and run for another one as Jacksonville leads New York 31-10 at halftime at EverBank Stadium. The Jaguars (9-4) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and haven’t looked taxed at all by the Jets.
Lawrence threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brian Thomas Jr. on Jacksonville’s opening drive, added a 15-yard scoring run on the second and then found Bhayshul Tuten for a 16-yard score on the next one as Jacksonville raced to a 21-7 lead.
A Montaric Brown interception with less than a minute to play set up Lawrence’s third touchdown pass, a 20-yard strike to Travis Etienne that bumped that lead even more.
The Jaguars lead the AFC South and have both the Colts and Texans breathing down their neck. Even with the hapless Jets more of a nuisance than legitimate challenger head coach Liam Coen said there was no way the Jaguars would overlook them. Cam Little added a 33-yard field goal with under two minutes left in the opening half to push that lead to 14.
