First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Jaguars establishing their dominance early on. Travis Etienne led the charge with his impressive rushing ability, contributing significantly to Jacksonville's ground game. His efforts were complemented by Bhayshul Tuten, who also found success against the Bolts' defense. The Jags' defense set an aggressive tone by forcing three-and-outs and limiting Los Angeles to minimal yardage.

Jacksonville continued to build momentum in the second quarter. Trevor Lawrence orchestrated a balanced offensive strategy, mixing passes and runs effectively. Despite an interception thrown by Lawrence, he managed to connect for a touchdown pass that further extended their lead. On defense, Antonio Johnson's interception return for 44 yards highlighted a strong defensive showing that kept pressure on Justin Herbert and limited his options.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, Jacksonville's running backs continued to shine as they wore down the Chargers' defense with consistent gains on each carry. Travis Etienne added another touchdown run while Bhayshul Tuten broke through for his own score from four yards out. The Jags’ defensive line maintained its intensity with Arik Armstead recording key tackles behind the line of scrimmage.


Fourth Quarter


As time wound down in EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville’s control over both sides of the ball remained evident. Their efficient red zone performance saw them convert five out of six attempts into touchdowns throughout the game—an impressive feat that underscored their offensive prowess against Los Angeles.
