After a breakout season in 2022, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still trying to find their breakthrough this year. Jacksonville had a strong performance in Week 1, dropping 31 points in a win over the Indianapolis Colts. Since then, the team’s offense hasn’t looked as strong, resulting in two straight losses.
Maybe a little home cooking can get the Jags back on the right track. No, technically they are not the London Jaguars, but the team has plenty of experience playing in Europe. Week 4 will be the team’s tenth time playing in London. Maybe that’s all they need to get back on track.
However, the Atlanta Falcons should prove to be a tough opponent. Led by rookie Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and a fantastic offensive line, the Falcons running attack is one of the best in the NFL. Robinson has already thrilled NFL fans in the USA. Now he gets the chance to perform on a global stage.
Follow along as Yahoo Sports provides the latest scores, stats and injuries as the Jaguars take on the Falcons in Week 4 in London.
The Falcons showed some life early in the second half
Atlanta was on the verge of letting the game get out of hand heading into the third quarter opener. Bijan Robinson broke off a 38-yard run and six plays later Desmond Ridder hit Drake London for a much-needed touchdown to cut the Jaguars’ lead to 17-7.
The Jaguars defense delivers a devastating pick-6 – and then adds another INT
Desmond Ridder led the Falcons down the field in an attempt to cut into Jacksonville’s lead before the second-year QB threw an interception to Darious Williams, who returned the ball 61 yards, increasing the lead and the Jaguars’ lead to 17-0 increased.
On the very next drive, Ridder made another unfortunate decision that allowed Andre Cisco to outsmart him and put the Jaguars’ offense in prime position. Atlanta’s defense held Jacksonville and forced a turnover on downs in the red zone.
Bijan Robinson is a human highlight reel
The No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft shows himself across the pond – with his legs and his hands.
Firstly, with this move he brought linebacker Chad Muma back to the USA.
He then submitted his assist for the catch of the day with this full-on, one-handed catch.
Calvin Ridley opened the scoring with a 30-yard touchdown catch
Wide receiver Calvin Ridley made a great catch after a fantastic throw from QB Trevor Lawrence, who had to get rid of the ball under a lot of pressure.
