NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars Pick Up Second Win of the Season

-

 LONDON - The New Egland Patriots raced out to a 10-lead in London over the Jacksonville Jaguars but were unable to sustain the momentum as Jacksonville, powered by a dominant offensive performance and a punt return touchdown, took over the game in the second quarter and never looked back in a 32-16 win.

Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars attack that carried the day, posted over 350 total yards while putting 150-plus rushing yards on the Patriots defense for the third-straight week. 

Lawrence completed 15-of-20 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown in his sixth international start. Tank Bigsby set new career-highs in rushing yards (118) and attempts (26), posting his second-career game with at least 100 yards and two touchdowns.

After spending most of the first quarter on the sideline, Lawrence and the Jaguars offense got rolling on their second possession of the game, quickly traveling 68 yards in just eight plays. Lawrence completed six of his first seven passes, with the sole incompletion coming when Kyle Dugger's blitz disrupted the timing on a screen inside the red zone.

Lawrence connected on a 58-yard bomb to Brian Thomas with a pinpoint throw. They'd stick to the ground from there with Tank Bigsby picking up the final 18 yards of the drive on the ground on three-straight running plays. He'd finish off a one-yard touchdown run to give Jacksonville their first lead of the game at 14-7.

Jacksonville's special teams delivered a huge play of their own with Parker Washington returning a punt 95 yards for the Jags third-straight touchdown

Patriots' rookie QB Drake Maye threw for over 250 yards, with two touchdowns and no turnovers in the losing effort. A 41-yard Joey Slye field goal that made it 10-0 New England.

Jacksonville hosts the Green Bay Packers in their next home game.

Golf: Remembering Kathy Whitworth, the Game’s Greatest Winner

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan. Inside the dining room the wall opposite the windows appears at fi...

(Photo by Nancy Beecher/Florida Sports Wire)   TAMPA (Florida Sports Wire) - Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he's capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels' successor. The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f...
