Trevor Lawrence threw for a touchdown and his defence stood tall as the Jacksonville Jaguars opened the NFL’s London Series with a 23-7 win over Atlanta Falcons at Wembley.
Certainly the walk up Wembley Way before kick-off suggests the Jags are building a fanbase over here in England.Usually the famous walkway is littered with shirts of all 32 teams, but this time the predominant colours were the green, gold and black of the Jaguars.
And those fans were rewarded with a comfortable victory against a Falcons team that, barring a few eye-catching plays from their first-round draft pick running back Bijan Robinson, were a long way short in most other areas, including pass protection of Ridder who was hurried or sacked on a number of occasions on his way to a three-interception performance, one of which the Jaguars defence returned for a touchdown.
Lawrence had earlier tossed a 30-yard pass to former Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley in the back of the end zone for the Jaguars first score of what proved to be a comfortable victory on a balmy autumnal afternoon at Wembley.
