First place in the AFC South is on the line today in Jacksonville, as the Jaguars are engaged in a battle with the Indianapolis Colts. The headline of this matchup unfortunately is Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, as he went down with a right Achilles injury in the first quarter. He has officially been ruled out, and Riley Leonard has replaced him under center.
The wet weather hasn’t affected the scoring in this matchup. Travis Etienne scored twice in the opening half, Jonathan Taylor scored his 16th rushing touchdown of the season, then Jakobi Meyers and Tim Patrick caught touchdowns from Trevor Lawrence as well. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft is actually having an impressive outing despite the conditions, and led Jacksonville to a 28-10 halftime lead.
The Colts have not won in Jacksonville since 2014, going 0-9 during this stretch. Will that change today? Follow along in the live blog below, as we break down this AFC South showdown as it happens.
