Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars miss early Green Bay Packers Packers lead

The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t wait until Halloween to get spooky.

An interception and ghost pass interference call set up a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers at EverBank Stadium on Sunday.

After rookie defenseman Jarrian Jones secured his first career pick to give Jacksonville the ball, the team failed to capitalize on the extra possession.

Two plays into the drive, Trevor Lawrence was picked off by Xavier McKinney, who grabbed his NFL-leading sixth interception of the season.

Then Buster Brown was called for a pass interference penalty that gave Green Bay short field position for a Josh Jacobs touchdown.

It was a series of unfortunate events that led to the Jaguars falling behind in the first half. The Packers added a field goal on their next possession and led 10-0 with 6 minutes left in the half.

The Jaguars finally put together a drive late in the first half and capped it off with a Lawrence TD run to get on the scoreboard.
