With the score tied 7-7 after a 1-yard touchdown run by Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, the Jaguars drove effectively and quickly to retake the lead. On third-and-5 from the Jaguars 31, Lawrence threw deep down the right sideline to Thomas, who caught the pass one-handed with his left hand held by Colts cornerback Charvarius Ward for a 39-yard gain to the Colts 30. &#8220;Just going out there and beating my defender,&#8221; Thomas said. &#8220;I got a 1-on-1. I was really hoping that he would throw it to me. I saw it in the air. I had to go get it regardless. I don&#8217;t care where he was at or what happens, I just had to go get it. I went out there and made a play.&#8221; Lawrence followed that with a 16-yard pass to tight end <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/brenton-strange\/\" title=\"Brenton Strange\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brenton Strange<\/a> and a 14-yard pass to wide receiver <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/team\/players-roster\/jakobi-meyers\/\" title=\"Jakobi Meyers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jakobi Meyers<\/a>, with the 14-yarder to Meyers capping a five-play, 74-yard drive and giving the Jaguars a 14-7 lead with 2:27 remaining in the first quarter. &#8220;We had a play on that we use, kind of a three-beater,&#8221; Lawrence said, referring to the Colts&#8217; Cover 3 defense on the touchdown. &#8220;You get the overlap corner, and we&#8217;ve got a nice little shot \u2026 Jakobi matched up on the backer. So had a good plan for that, and it worked great.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2. What.A.Catch.
