Heartbreaker in Philadelphia for the Jaguars in Week 9

2024-11-04 16:10:02

Quarterback Jalen Hurts’ 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DeVonta Smith with 7:43 remaining restored the Eagles’ multi-score lead.

Lawrence capped the ensuing drive with a four-yard touchdown run to pull the Jaguars back to within a score.

Two first-half turnovers were key, with the Eagles turning both into point-blank touchdowns en route to a 16-0 halftime lead. The Eagles outgained the Jaguars 187-31 and had 10 first downs to one for the Jaguars in the first half.

The Eagles turned a fumbled punt return by Jaguars wide receiver Austin Trammell into a 20-yard touchdown pass from Hurts to running back Saquon Barkley before the Jaguars’ offense ran a play.

Barkley’s second first-half touchdown, a 19-yard run, followed the Jaguars’ second first-half turnover – an interception by linebacker Zack Baun for a first down at the Jaguars 40-yard line just inside the two-minute warning.

Lawrence completed 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards and no touchdowns with two interceptions – and ran for two touchdowns.

Hurts completed 18 of 24 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Barkley rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries.

The Jaguars registered three sacks – all in the first half – and had one defensive takeaway Sunday. Defensive end Josh Hines-Allen had two sacks, and rookie defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson also registered a sack.

“We just have to win,” Hines-Allen said. “We have to win, and it hurts. It hurts.”

The Jaguars played without two of their top three receivers, with Christian Kirk out for the season with a broken collarbone and Gabe Davis out with a shoulder injury. Starting left guard Ezra Cleveland was out with a high-ankle sprain.

“We battled, we fought,” Jaguars rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. said. “We didn’t get the result we wanted, but we still came out and fought through injuries. Everybody gave it their all.”
