Jaguars Defense Woeful in Blowout Loss to Lions

By Hays Carlyon DETROIT – Embarrassing. Simply embarrassing. With the chance to put some real heat on Tennessee in the AFC South race, the Jaguars played by far their worst game of the season in Detroit. The Jaguars allowed scores on all of the Lions eight drives in the game losing 40-14 on Sunday at Ford Field. ALL EIGHT! The Lions never met any resistance. They gained 155 yards on their first 17 plays of the game, a 9.1-yards-per-play average. […]

Trevor Lawrence Turns in Performance For The Ages In Win Over Ravens

By Hays Carlyon Trevor Lawrence authored the greatest performance by a Jaguars quarterback I’ve ever seen on Sunday. Maybe the best in franchise history. The numbers would suggest so, as would your eyes. That was magical. You should be ecstatic today, Jaguars. You should have a smile that can’t be anything but radiant. Your Chosen One delivered in a way only the elite can rallying the team to a stunning victory. Lawrence threw for three touchdowns, including the game-winning two-point […]

Jaguars Stun Raiders With Furious Rally to Win 27-20

By Hays Carlyon Heart and talent. The young Jaguars showed both in a stunning 27-20 comeback victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. Las Vegas built a 17-0 lead, but Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne and an inspired defensive effort allowed the Jaguars (3-6) to snap a five-game losing skid. Lawrence finally showed some urgency in running the ball and it elevated his game. The second-year veteran ran for big chunks of […]

Trevor Lawrence Lousy Again as Jaguars Drop Fifth Straight

By Hays Carlyon Thank for nothing, Frank Gore. We were all so excited when you made that first down leading the New York Jets to a critical victory over the Los Angeles Rams back on Dec. 20, 2020. Trevor Lawrence, then the Clemson superstar quarterback and hyped as best prospect in a decade, was now on a direct path to the Jaguars with the No. 1 pick. Our excitement was at a maximum. Finally, the answer was here. Ready to […]

Jaguars Fall a Yard Short to Giants in Fourth Straight Loss

By Hays Carlyon I still believe the Jaguars have improved. But I can’t defend them anymore. Not until we see wins. I still see something positive building, despite a 23-17 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. But this isn’t Pop Warner football. You are measured by wins and losses in the NFL. There just aren’t enough through seven games to merit anything other than disappointment. I’m stunned that after outscoring Indianapolis and the Los […]

Trevor Lawrence Miserable Again as Jaguars Lose Second Straight

By Hays Carlyon Now, I’m concerned. I gave Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence a pass after a five-turnover performance in last week’s loss at Philadelphia played in constant wind and heavy rain. I expected the second-year veteran to bounce back. Instead, he got worse. Lawrence turned in a miserable performance in an awful 13-6 loss to the previously winless Houston Texans on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field. The Jaguars (2-3) fell from first place in the AFC South to third behind […]
