JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, including one to recently benched receiver Brian Thomas Jr.<\/a>, and the Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the Indianapolis Colts 42-7 in the rain Sunday to extend their home winning streak in the series to 12.<\/p>\n Lawrence also connected with Bhayshul Tuten<\/a> on a screen in the third quarter and found rookie Nate Boerkircher on a 31-yarder in an opening half filled with big plays for the Jaguars (5-2).<\/p>\n Tuten added a 39-yard scoring scamper<\/a> in which he broke three tackles, and Rayuan Lane returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown<\/a> with 10 seconds to play in the second quarter.<\/p>\n Jacksonville\u2019s 28-0 lead was the third-largest advantage at halftime in franchise history. It came five days after the Colts (2-6) traded two of their best players, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner<\/a> and longtime guard Quenton Nelson<\/a>, to kick-start a rebuilding effort.<\/p>\n Indianapolis also fired general manager Chris Ballard last month and is reportedly willing to part with star running back Jonathan Taylor.<\/p>\n Taylor was bottled up most of the day against Jacksonville, finishing with 23 yards on eight carries and getting saddled with a fumble on a botched trick play. He is the last player to top 100 yards rushing in a game against the Jaguars, accomplishing the feat in the 2024 regular-season finale.<\/p>\n Jacksonville\u2019s run defense could get tested moving forward, though, because 335-pound nose DaVon Hamilton sustained what looked like a significant right knee injury in the second quarter. Players rushed to his side, and a team trainer quickly called for a cart to take him to the locker room. He was ruled out minutes later.<\/p>\n Indianapolis last won at EverBank Stadium in 2014. The 12-game skid includes a trip to London in 2016. Even during some of the Jaguars\u2019 worst years \u2014 a one-win campaign in 2020 and a pair of three-win seasons \u2014 they managed to beat the Colts at home.<\/p>\n This one was never in doubt.<\/p>\n Coming off a bye and wearing the franchise\u2019s new \u201cBold City\u201d rivalry uniforms, Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for 210 yards and the Jaguars won their seventh consecutive regular-season game at home. They have outscored opponents 271-75 in those games.<\/p>\n Indianapolis has dropped four in a row and 13 of 15 dating to last season.<\/p>\n
