The Jaguars blew a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter last Sunday, but this week, they gave themselves an even bigger cushion.
Running back Travis Etienne scored his second touchdown of the game just two plays after safety Antonio Johnson intercepted Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert near midfield. Johnson returned the pick to the Chargers’ 13-yard line, and Etienne took care of the rest, making it 35-6 Jaguars with 11:02 left to play.
This was the third touchdown of the second half for the Jaguars. Their first two scoring drives combined for 27 plays, while the Chargers have run just four offensive snaps since the start of the second half.
Controlling the clock like this is a great way to hold onto a lead. It looks like the Jaguars are well on their way to celebrating a victory when the final whistle blows this week.
