The Jacksonville Jaguars had a scare following allowing the Saints to close a deficit, but a long touchdown run from Christian Kirk in the 4th quarter gave the visitors a 31-24 victory in New Orleans on Thursday night.
Derek Carr and his attack had the opportunity to tie the game at the very end of the match, but the Jacksonville defense resisted at the goal gate. Foster Moreau dropped a pass in the end zone when he was completely unmarked on a 3rd down. Carr then threw an incomplete pass on a final attempt to confirm the victory for the Jags.
After the sequence, Moreau held his head in his hands at the players’ bench. Visibly inconsolable, Moreau received a visit from several teammates who came to offer him support at the end of the match.
In the victory, Travis Etienne ran for two touchdowns, Foyesade Oluokun returned an interception for a major, and Christian Kirk’s 44-yard touchdown following a short pass gave the Jags the victory.
Etienne became the first player in Jaguars history to run for two touchdowns in three consecutive games
Trevor Lawrence was at his post despite a sprained knee that forced him to leave the final minutes of the victory once morest Indianapolis on Sunday and led Jacksonville (5-2) with 59 yards on the ground. He also completed 20 of 29 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown to help the Jags earn their fourth straight victory. The quarterback seemed comfortable, allowing himself to improvise outside his protective pocket on a few occasions.
The Saints trailed 24-9, but got back into the game on touchdown runs from Tayson Hill and Michael Thomas.
