The Jacksonville Jaguars started Week 1 off on a slow note and let the Houston Texans punch them in the mouth first. However, in Week 2’s game that was not the case as the team scored first — and did so in the opening drive.
Rookie Trevor Lawrence was able to march the team down the field on an 11-play drive that resulted in a 25-yard touchdown reception to Marvin Jones Jr. The veteran ran a fade up the top side of the field and saw little resistance, which allowed him to get a step on veteran Kyle Fuller.

On the drive, Lawrence was able to convert four third-down situations, so the pass blocking has been good for him to open the game. His pass to Jones and the point after attempt then put the score at 7-0, but Denver was able to drive down the field for a field goal on the following drive, putting the score at 7-3.
