Game report week 4 2024

JACKSONVILLE – The day was wet, weird and wild – and historic.

Most importantly, the Jaguars won when they really needed to win, and now have some momentum as they prepare for their two games abroad.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw two for touchdowns and running back Tank Bigsby ran two more as the Jaguars won on “Throwback Sunday” – a heartbreaking 37-34 win over the Indianapolis Colts on a wet, gray October Sunday at EverBank Stadium.

Rookie kicker Cam Little’s 49-yard field goal with :17 remaining gave the Jaguars the lead – and the win – after the Colts rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The Jaguars drove 39 yards in eight plays for the winning field goal.

The Jaguars wore their Throwback Prowler jerseys for the first time on Sunday, based on the jerseys first worn during their 1995 expansion season. Former head coach Tom Coughlin, the franchise’s first head coach, was inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars.

The Jaguars, who play the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots in London over the next two weeks, are now 1-4. The Colts are 2-3.

The Jaguars won their 10e consecutive home game against the Colts, who last won in Jacksonville in 2014.

Lawrence completed 28 of 34 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns with one interception, with his 85-yard touchdown pass to rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. gave the Jaguars a 10-7 lead in the second quarter.

Lawrence also threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to tight end Brenton Strange, and Bigsby’s two touchdowns both came in the second half — a 19-yarder in the third quarter that gave the Jaguars a 20-10 lead and a 65-yarder with 6:00 left, making the lead 34-20.

Bigsby rushed for 101 yards on 13 carries.

Colts quarterback Joe Flacco, starting for injured starter Anthony Richardson, completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Flacco rallied the Colts repeatedly in the second half, with the Colts scoring two touchdowns in less than four minutes to make it 34–34 before the Jaguars’ game-winning drive.

The Jaguars recorded four sacks with one takeaway on Sunday, with defensive end Travon Walker recording three sacks and defensive end Josh Hines-Allen recording one. Walker’s sack in the second quarter forced a fumble that Hines-Allen recovered and a Cam Little field goal gave the Jaguars a three-point halftime lead.

Walker’s final sack came on the final play of the game.

  • Wide receiver Michael Pittman capped a 12-play, 71-yard opening drive with a one-yard reception from Flacco, giving the Colts a 7-0 lead with 8:49 left in the first quarter.
  • Little’s 23-yard field goal capped a 14-play, 84-yard drive and cut the Colts’ lead to 7–3 with 8:57 remaining in the second quarter; Bigsby’s 28-yard reception on a screen pass on second-and-6 gave the Jaguars a first down at the Colts 24. Thomas’ 85-yard touchdown reception from Lawrence came one play after a Colts punt and gave the Jaguars their first lead of the game – 10-7 – with 7:02 left in the second quarter. Colts kicker Matt Gay’s 30-yard field goal with 1:44 remaining in the half tied the game at 10-10. Little’s 30-yard field goal with :04 remaining in the second quarter gave the Jaguars a 13-10 halftime lead, with the field goal coming one play after Hines-Allen recovered Walker’s strip sack from Flacco.
  • The Jaguars kept the momentum and pushed the lead to 20-10 when Bigsby ran up the middle or a 19-yard touchdown with 7:13 left in the third quarter, a play that came one play on wide receiver Devin Duvernay’s punt return of 53 meters. .
  • Tight end Mo Alie-Cox’s 18-yard touchdown reception from Flacco on the first play of the fourth quarter cut the Jaguars’ lead to 20-17 with 14:54 remaining. Lawrence capped a seven-play, 70-yard drive on the ensuing possession with a four-yard touchdown pass to Strange for a 27–17 lead with 9:59 left; wide receiver Christian Kirk’s 61-yard reception from Lawrence ignited the drive. The Colts cut the lead to 27-20 with Gay’s 30-yard field goal with 6:00 remaining. Bigsby’s 65-yarder came on the ensuing series, with Colts running back Trey Sermon’s one-yard run with 4:27 left, once again cutting the Jaguars’ lead to seven – 34-27. Colts wide receiver Alex Pierce’s 65-yard reception from Flacco on the ensuing Colts series made it 34-34 with 2:40 remaining.
