Gridiron Battle: Jaguars Claw Back from Deficit to Stun TitansGridiron Battle: Jaguars Claw Back from Deficit to Stun Titans In a thrilling gridiron battle at TIAA Bank Field, the Jacksonville Jaguars defied the odds to overcome a 17-point deficit and stun the Tennessee Titans 27-20. Down 20-3 at halftime, the Jaguars received a much-needed spark from quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The second-year star engineered two scoring drives in the third quarter, culminating in a 10-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones Jr. The Titans responded with a field goal to extend their lead to 23-17, but the Jaguars were not to be denied. In the fourth quarter, Lawrence connected with Jamal Agnew for a 49-yard touchdown to put Jacksonville ahead for the first time. With time running out, the Titans drove deep into Jaguars territory, but a crucial interception by Tyson Campbell sealed the victory for the home team. The Jaguars’ defense played a pivotal role in the comeback. They held Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill to just 232 passing yards and one touchdown, while forcing two turnovers. Josh Allen led the way with nine tackles, while Travon Walker recorded 1.5 sacks. Running back James Robinson rushed for 100 yards for the Jaguars, becoming the first player in franchise history to reach that mark in consecutive games. For the Titans, Derrick Henry rushed for 121 yards, but it was not enough to prevent their first loss of the season. The victory was a major upset for the Jaguars, who had been picked by many to finish near the bottom of the AFC South. It was also a statement win for Lawrence, who has shown significant growth and leadership in his second year. The Jaguars will look to build on this momentum when they host the Los Angeles Chargers next week, while the Titans will try to bounce back against the Indianapolis Colts.
