It was the worst showing of the season for Jaguars on Sunday. Trevor Lawrence escaped major injury but Jacksonville was hammered 40-14 by the Lions.
It drained any leftover feel-good feelings from a Week 12 thriller against Baltimore and showcased just how much work remains for Doug Pederson and Co.
Lawrence returned to start the second half and led Jacksonville’s only touchdown drive of the game. He tossed a 3-yard scoring pass to Evan Engram and then a two-point conversion throw to Jamal Agnew to get the Jaguars to within 30-14.Lawrence didn’t finish the game. Pederson put in backup CJ Beathard after the Lions scored on their eighth consecutive drive, the victory cigar for Detroit and a humiliating all-around effort by the Jaguars.
In a matchup of teams who held the Nos. 1 and 2 picks from last April’s draft, the Lions ran over Jacksonville with ease. Travis Etienne fumbled on the second play of the game and Detroit converted it into a Jamal Williams touchdown seven plays later.Jared Goff, constantly mentioned as being replaced by a draft pick, shredded the Jaguars. Goff led the Lions to five scoring drives in the opening half, including a 10-yard strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown to make it 14-3.
