Lawrence rifled a throw to Evan Engram on 3rd-and-3, only for the tight end to drop the ball and bobble it into the awaiting arms of a Titans defender. Six plays later, Spears punched in a 3-yard touchdown. Jacksonville’s defense has missed about 400 tackles today.

Just inside the 2-minute warning, Lawrence sailed a pass to Jones that was intercepted. It felt like all hope was lost for Jacksonville — but Travon Walker came up with a big sack (getting him to 10 on the season) and Tennessee’s punter couldn’t hold onto the snap, allowing Brenton Strange to tackle him at the 38-yard line. Jacksonville inched up to the 12-yard line and converted a 30-yard field goal to finish the half.

Lawrence found Engram three times for 13-plus yards, including a back shoulder touchdown at the front pylon. Jacksonville kicked the extra point after its 10-play, 63-yard drive to make it a one-possession game.

After picking up one first down, Tannehill tried to thread the needle downfield but was intercepted by Andre Cisco! No. 5 took it 28 yards on the return to set up Jacksonville on the TEN 28.

The Jaguars got down to the 1-yard line with two chances to score. But on third down, Lawrence was forced to throw it away on a failed play action call, and on fourth down, Lawrence’s signature Jordan Space Jam Stretch came up short. The Titans have possession with under eight minutes remaining.

Tennessee took nearly five minutes off the clock with an 8-play drive that ended with a punt to Jacksonville’s 25-yard line. Lawrence picked up 8 yards on the ground before the 2-minute warning. He overthrew Ridley on a deep bomb that could’ve set up the game-tying 2-point conversion, but instead, the Jaguars turned the ball over on downs to end their 2023 season.
