Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence said he knelt at the Patriots’ 1-yard line in the fourth quarter to keep the clock running, then joked he was helping Bhayshul Tuten’s fantasy managers; Tuten scored on the next play in the Jaguars’ 35-6 win.
After the game, Lawrence said he probably should have scored himself, calling the decision “probably unnecessary”; he said the Jaguars often discuss going down in such situations to keep the clock moving. The win lifted Jacksonville to 2-1 and first place in the AFC South.
Lawrence completed 19 of 29 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns, threw one interception and ran four times for 25 yards. Tuten recorded 73 rushing yards on 15 carries and 17 receiving yards on two catches, for 90 total yards and one touchdown.
