Key Performances and Game Highlights


The game was characterized by the Lions' dominant offensive performance and the Jaguars' struggle to find their rhythm. Jacksonville's quarterback Mac Jones completed 17 out of 29 attempts for a total of 138 yards but was hindered by an interception and only managed to lead his team to score through two field goals successfully kicked by Cam Little from distances that showcased his range, including a long of 59 yards.


On defense, despite their efforts, the Jaguars could not manage to sack Detroit's quarterback or significantly disrupt their offensive plays. Tyson Campbell led with eight combined tackles followed closely by Foyesade Oluokun with nine combined tackles. Ronald Darby contributed with one pass defended but ultimately, the team could not force any turnovers which might have shifted momentum in their favor.

Special teams saw Logan Cooke punting five times for an average net yardage of 47.4 yards per punt, managing to place three within the opponent's 20-yard line - showing some strategic play that unfortunately did not translate into points on the board for Jacksonville.
