Jacksonville matches its record margin
Jacksonville Jaguars beat Indianapolis Colts 42-7 at EverBank Stadium in the US National Football League. The thirty-five-point winning margin matched Jacksonville's largest in the teams' series. The Jaguars led 28-0 at half-time, leaving Indianapolis facing a large deficit before the visitors had managed their first points of the game.[1], [2]
Four first-half touchdowns
Trevor Lawrence threw first-half touchdown passes to Brian Thomas Jr and Nate Boerkircher. Bhayshul Tuten added a long touchdown run, and Rayuan Lane III returned an intercepted pass for another score before the break for a 28-0 lead. A touchdown earns six points by taking or catching the ball in the end zone. Chris Rodriguez Jr's third-quarter scoring run made it 35-0 before Daniel Jones found Josh Downs for Indianapolis's reply.[1]
Tuten scores through the air as well
Tuten turned a short pass into a touchdown on the third quarter's final play to make it 42-7. Lawrence completed 10 of 14 passes for three touchdowns without an interception. Jacksonville's defense recorded four sacks and three takeaways. The Jaguars improved to five wins and two defeats, while the Colts fell to two wins and six losses after a fourth successive loss. Jacksonville has now won 12 consecutive home meetings with Indianapolis; its previous 35-point series win came in 2015.[1]
