In an impressive display of offense, the Jacksonville Jaguars accumulated a total of 474 yards. Their ground game was particularly effective, racking up 196 rushing yards over 40 attempts for an average of nearly five yards per carry. This effort was highlighted by a breakaway 35-yard touchdown run which stood as their longest rushing play. The team's commitment to the running game paid off with two touchdowns on six redzone attempts.


Through the air, Jacksonville's quarterback maintained composure against pressure, completing 25 out of 37 passes for an impressive total of 315 passing yards and one touchdown pass. Despite being sacked five times and facing sixteen blitzes from the Bills' defense, he achieved a passer rating just shy of 103 and connected on ten successful third-down conversions out of eighteen attempts.


The receiving corps contributed significantly to moving chains downfield with receptions totaling up to twelve first downs. They managed to catch balls thrown for over two hundred air yards while also adding more than one hundred after-catch yards to their tally.


Jacksonville's special teams were also noteworthy; they successfully converted all attempted kicks including one field goal from forty-four yards out and two extra points following touchdowns. Additionally, they executed one successful rush attempt during conversions.


On defense, although not recording any sacks against Buffalo's quarterback, Jacksonville did manage to apply consistent pressure resulting in five hurries and six hits on him. They forced three passes defended along with securing an interception that helped stifle Buffalo’s momentum at crucial junctures in the game.


Penalties seemed to be an area where both teams struggled somewhat equally; however, it was Jacksonville who capitalized better on these situations gaining four first downs due to penalties called against Buffalo.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought victory overseas in London, fans can anticipate another exciting matchup as EverBank Stadium will host the next game between Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars scheduled for October 15 at noon local time (5 PM GMT). Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into CBS for live coverage.
