Jaguars hold off Saints surge to get 31-24 win in Week 7

The Jaguars did just enough to hold off the Saints late and get their first ever Superdome victory.

The Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 5-2 on the season Thursday night with a 31-24 win against the New Orleans Saints.

It was a fourth consecutive win for the Jaguars and their first ever victory at the Caesars Superdome, where they were previously 0-3.

Jacksonville put the pressure on the Saints early in the game with a 10-play, 75-yard opening drive touchdown. Jacksonville built a 15-point lead through the first three quarters, but it quickly evaporated in the fourth quarter.

But the Jaguars got a 44-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Christian Kirk that put the team back on top.

A gassed Jacksonville defense did just enough to end the game with a timely stop in the red zone to ice it.

Here’s how it all went down in the Thursday night win for the Jaguars:
