TREVOR LAWRENCE

Miles Sanders ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, Jalen Hurts threw for 204 yards and ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 29-21.

PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — Miles Sanders ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, Jalen Hurts threw for 204 yards and ran for a score and the undefeated Eagles spoiled former coach Doug Pederson’s return to Philadelphia with a 29-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Lawrence was strip-sacked on the final drive of the game that sealed the win for the Eagles. Coach Nick Sirianni, Pederson’s replacement, has the Eagles (4-0) playing like a team that might have to make room in the rafters for more banners. Hurts had a 10-yard TD pass wiped out on a pass interference call that pushed them back to the 20. His 58 yards stood out against a Jaguars defense that had allowed a league-low 55 yards rushing a game.

Miles Sanders ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, Jalen Hurts threw for 204 yards and ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 29-21.

Jalen Hurts was the star of the Philadelphia Eagles' 3-0 start. The Eagles running back paced the offense in dreary conditions as Philadelphia rallied from a 14-0 deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 29-21 and improve to 4-0. The game got off to an ominous start for the Eagles as Jalen Hurts threw a pick-6 on Philadelphia's first possession. Sanders led the effort with 134 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. Lawrence, meanwhile, fumbled four times and lost them all, including a strip-sack on Jacksonville's last possession that secured Philadelphia's win.

The Urban Meyer era of the Jacksonville Jaguars was a disaster on multiple fronts. The Jaguars finished 2021 with nine forced turnovers as the only team in the NFL to fail to reach double digits in takeaways. The interception was the seventh of the season for an opportunistic Jaguars defense and the ninth total forced turnover alongside a pair of fumble recoveries. They recorded the same combined interception and fumble recovery total through 17 games last season en route to the league's worst record and a second-straight season securing the No. However their season ends, it's pretty much guaranteed at this point to be a dramatic improvement over last.

Their game against the Philadelphia Eagles is one with myriad storylines on and off the field that add extra juice. Styles can make fights in the NFL, and Lawrence and Hurts play two contrasting styles of football — but both work. Since then, the Eagles quickly rebuilt their offense around Hurts — which Pederson reportedly leaned toward doing late in his Philadelphia tenure — while Pederson is thriving with the Jaguars. Two top teams, young players to get invested in and a coach heading back to where he became famous. This has all the makings of a classic regular season game.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Los Angeles ChargersJustin Herbert was clearly compromised while playing through torn rib cartilage, but this Jacksonville team is fully legit. Austin Ekeler was held to just four yards on five carries but secured all eight of his targets. Receptions have saved Ekeler's fantasy start in PPR leagues, but he's yet to score a touchdown after hitting pay dirt 20 times last season. Fields has fewer completions over three games this season (23) than Cooper Kupp had catches over the first two weeks. Both Herbert and Pierce could be top-10 type fantasy backs moving forward if playing time cooperated (it won't, if Montgomery is back soon).

The Jacksonville Jaguars appear to have a real deal franchise quarterback. Trevor Lawrence is slowly becoming the bonafide signal-caller they were expecting him to be when he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Two straight weeks, Lawrence has had steady command of the Jaguars' offense and has generally been accurate to all levels of the field. Jacksonville now sits atop the AFC South and comfortably looks like the best team in the division. Not only did Lawrence and the Jaguars avoid a turnover Sunday, they also didn’t allow Lawrence to be sacked.

Trevor Lawrence had three touchdowns and James Robinson had 100 yards rushing and a score to lift the Jacksonville Jaguars to their second win.

Indianapolis Colts star DeForest Buckner talked about the team's 24-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday as the team fell to 0-1-1 to start 2022.

Ryan took the Colts 35 yards to the Jacksonville 40 … and proceeded to throw an interception straight into the gut of Jacksonville’s Rayshawn Jenkins. After last week’s tie with the lowly Texans and this week’s Jacksonville debacle, nobody’s saying that now. The defense intercepted Ryan three times, sacked him five times and hurried him another 11 times. Twice the Colts fought down inside Jacksonville's 10-yard line, and twice the Colts came away empty. By then, Jacksonville will have established its full 2022 identity … and so will the rest of the AFC South.

Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be better than this by now. “I don’t have all the answers right now,” Lawrence said. Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 275 yards, with a touchdown and an interception.

The Jacksonville Jaguars kept up their losing ways in Doug Pederson's first game as coach.

Kenny Pickett’s second preseason performance was as impressive as his first, and it came against better competition.

The performance didn’t come close to matching the hype for the 2021 quarterback class.

Josh Jacobs and rookie Zamir White ran well on a rain-soaked field and the Raiders routed Jacksonville 27-11 in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night, spoiling coach Doug Pederson’s first game with the Jaguars.

Trevor Lawrence’s and Travis Etienne’s return to the gridiron will have to wait another week. Both are learning a new offense and Etienne is coming off a foot injury that forced him to miss his entire rookie season. It's also just the preseason, where teams are more cautious with their star players. That, plus the return of his former Clemson running mate in Etienne, should signal a strong sophomore season for the 2021 No. The two lit of college football for three seasons but haven't played a regular season game together yet after Etienne's preseason injury in 2021.

(Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars began anew Monday morning with the first official training camp practice of the post-Urban Meyer era. Lawrence started all 17 games and completed 59.6 percent of his passes for 3,641 yards with 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. The Jaguars acquired a number of players over the offseason to help alleviate the pressure on Lawrence. If any moment Monday demonstrated different vibes around the Jaguars this season, it might have been Etienne crashing his former Clemson teammate’s media availability.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Marvin Jones had a smile on his face and a pep in his step as the Jacksonville Jaguars went through their first organized team activity Monday. “When you like coming to work, good things happen,” Jones told The Associated Press following practice. “I’ll just leave it at that.”The Jaguars are "healing" from one of the most tumultuous coaching tenures in NFL history. The Urban Meyer experiment lasted 11 months and might end up including as many lawsuits as wins (two). A second video seemed to prove otherwise, and Meyer ended up making two public apologies.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are still “healing” from one of the most tumultuous coaching tenures in NFL history.

In an NFL draft focused early on stoppers, it was the goers — wide receivers — who stole the spotlight Thursday night.

The Jacksonville Jaguars chose Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker with the top pick in the NFL draft.

Jacksonville is the fourth franchise in the modern NFL era with the top draft pick in consecutive years.

This year's quarterback class isn't as heralded as last year's or even next year's.

The Jacksonville Jaguars used their franchise tag on left tackle Cam Robinson for the second straight year Tuesday, guaranteeing him $16.6 million in 2022 and potentially divulging their plans for the No. 1 pick in next month's NFL draft. The former Alabama standout has started 61 games over five seasons since Jacksonville drafted him with the 34th overall pick in 2017. Bringing him back was a surprise move considering the Jaguars drafted Stanford left tackle Walker Little with the 45th overall pick last year and had plans to pair him with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the foreseeable future.

Doug Pederson won’t have the power Urban Meyer had with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Indy badly botched a chance to secure an AFC wild-card spot with a 26-11 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday in the “clown game,” the team's seventh consecutive road loss to the Jaguars. Now, Indy returns home with a two-game skid and facing a long offseason that doesn't even include a first-round draft pick. “Feels good to end on a high note after all this turmoil that we went through the whole season,” Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot said. “Never expect to be sitting here having this moment right now, not like this,” Indy coach Frank Reich said.

The Colts looked more like the ones who should have been decked out in giant bow ties, face paint and colorful wigs and suspenders. With a playoff berth on the line, Indianapolis was a no-show on an 80-degree day in Jacksonville. The Colts end the season on a two-game skid when one victory would have put it in the postseason. Lawrence completed 23 of 32 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns, his first game with multiple TD passes since the season opener. WENTZ STRUGGLESWentz completed 17 of 29 passes for 185 yards, with a garbage-time touchdown and an interception.

The Indianapolis Colts badly botched a chance to secure an AFC wild-card spot by losing at Jacksonville 26-11 in the clown game.

The title sponsor for Jacksonville's season finale against Indianapolis is suing the Jaguars in hopes of having its name disassociated from the game during which disgruntled fans are planning to dress as clowns to protest team owner Shad Khan's decision to retain general manager Trent Baalke. RoofClaim.com, a roofing company based in Georgia that does business in Florida, is seeking to avoid "its brand being emphasized as the primary sponsor of the clown game,” according to a complaint filed Thursday in circuit court in Jacksonville. It also wants temporary and permanent injunctive relief from the Jaguars using the RoofClaim brand.

If a 40-point drubbing at New England didn’t get Jacksonville owner Shad Khan’s full attention, then what’s being planned for the team's season finale just might. Frustrated fans are revolting against the Jaguars and have Khan in their crosshairs. Hundreds, if not thousands, have changed their social media profile pics to a clown donning Khan’s signature mustache.

The Jaguars (2-11) have been mostly a punchline since hiring coach Urban Meyer in January. Lambo said he reported the incident to his agent, who contacted the Jaguars’ legal counsel the following day. “Jaguars legal counsel indeed acknowledged and responded immediately to the query made by Josh Lambo’s agent Friday, August 27, 2021,” the Jaguars said in a statement.

The sessions were planned long before Jacksonville’s latest loss and part of the 10-year anniversary of Khan buying the NFL franchise. It was impossible for Khan, however, to avoid addressing everything surrounding Meyer and the team this week and this season. It was the latest issue for Meyer, whose first NFL season has been filled with embarrassments and head-scratching decisions.

Don’t expect Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan to be impulsive when deciding coach Urban Meyer’s fate.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer and team owner Shad Khan had a one-on-one meeting following the team's fifth consecutive loss, a 20-0 shutout at Tennessee on Sunday.

The Tennessee Titans were on the other side of a turnover-fest Sunday, getting four interceptions that helped them beat woeful Jacksonville 20-0 for their first home shutout in more than two decades.

Los Angeles still has never lost four straight in coach Sean McVay's half-decade in charge. Jacksonville turned the ball over twice and struggled to get anything going offensively against LA's star-studded defense, managing just 197 total yards. Los Angeles still must make trips to Arizona, Baltimore and Minnesota along with two NFC West games at home. He capped the Rams' only TD drive of the first half with a 5-yard run. The Rams' defense dominated Lawrence's offense in the first half except for one 73-yard scoring drive culminating in Carlos Hyde's 1-yard TD run.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — As impressive as Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was during his first week of training camp, his performance came with an asterisk. “The real stuff starts next week.”Despite outplaying Gardner Minshew daily, Lawrence will continue splitting first-team reps with the third-year pro who has a 7-13 record in 20 career starts in Jacksonville. Lawrence welcomed Meyer’s move even though it’s rare for the former Clemson star to work with the second-team offense or have to earn the starting job. “That’s how you have to (do it),” said Lawrence, who last shared first-team reps with Kelly Bryant as a freshman at Clemson. “I think it helped us a lot,” Lawrence said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence signed his four-year rookie contract Monday, clearing the way for him to attend the start of training camp in three weeks. Under the NFL's rookie slotting system, Lawrence's deal was projected to be worth $36.8 million and included a $24.1 million signing bonus. With Lawrence under contract, Jacksonville has now signed six of its nine draft picks. Running back Travis Etienne (first round), cornerback Tyson Campbell (second) and offensive tackle Walker Little (second) remain unsigned.

1 draft pick wore a compression sleeve on his left leg to help his hamstring, which he tweaked during practice last week. “You yank a hamstring now, you’re going to miss the early part of training camp,” coach Urban Meyer said. “His retention and carryover have been very good,” Meyer said.
