Jaguars Dominate Jets with a 31-10 Lead at Halftime
The Jacksonville Jaguars are putting on a strong performance as they aim to stay ahead of the Houston Texans in the AFC South, and they’re looking good through the first half against the New York Jets. Leading 31-10 at the break, the Jaguars have been propelled by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has been in top form.
Lawrence delivered three touchdown passes in the first half, including a crucial 20-yard pass to running back Travis Etienne, which was caught with just 21 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Not stopping there, Lawrence also ran for a touchdown himself, contributing to a commanding scoreline. Despite taking a knock to his right hand and index finger earlier in the second quarter, Lawrence has been unaffected by the injury. He completed 14 out of 22 passes for 192 yards and added 48 rushing yards on four carries.

Jakobi Meyers has been Lawrence's primary target, with Brian Thomas and Bhayshul Tuten each catching a touchdown as well. The Jets, trailing 24-10 when they took possession with just over 90 seconds left in the first half, were hoping to build some momentum. However, their hopes were dashed when rookie quarterback Brady Cook was intercepted by Montaric Brown, who made a diving catch to set up the Jaguars' final touchdown of the half.
For Cook, this interception was a tough moment, but it also marked his first-ever touchdown pass in the NFL earlier in the half. He’s now tasked with finding a way to mount a comeback in the second half if he’s to secure his first win as a starter in the league.
The Jets have a lot of work to do in the second half, but Lawrence and the Jaguars seem determined to put the game out of reach as they extend their lead.
