Jamal Agnew gives Jaguars 2nd touchdown vs. Eagles

The Jacksonville Jaguars entered their Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles as a 6.5-point underdog. They were leading 14-7 at one point and are currently tied 14-14. Andre Cisco got them their first points with an interception return for a touchdown. Later, Trevor Lawrence connected with return specialist/wide receiver Jamal Agnew for a four-yard touchdown pass.

The Jags didn’t do much on their first possession but they were pretty effective on their second one, marching down 80 yards on eight plays. Agnew’s touchdown capped the drive.

This was Agnew’s first touchdown of the season. Last year, he scored on a couple of returns. He also had a 66-yard touchdown run against the Colts and a receiving touchdown. Unfortunately, a hip injury in Week 11 cut his season short.

Agnew had been relatively quiet this season but he’s seen his playing time increase this game due to the absence of wide receiver Zay Jones, who’s dealing with an ankle injury. As of this writing, Agnew has hauled in three receptions for 42 yards and he’s the only Jaguar with more than one catch.

The Jaguars are letting their lead slip from their hands

The Jaguars were pretty effective in the first quarter and were leading by two touchdowns. But the Eagles wanted into the fun and have already tied the game. Trevor Lawrence, who’s struggled, fumbled the ball. Philly recovered it and scored. Jacksonville got the ball but didn’t manage to do much.

The Eagles wasted no time and got into the Jags’ end zone once again thanks to heavy doses of Miles Sanders. The weather conditions have made it difficult to throw, so it’s a good idea that Philly is running the ball as much as they are. Maybe, the Jaguars should follow suit and do the same.

The Jags have stalled and are at risk of trailing behind. They’ll need to adjust if they want to beat the Eagles.
