This pivotal play took place in the third quarter, giving the Jaguars a 21-14 lead and providing a significant momentum shift in the game.
The win improved the Jaguars’ record to 4-1 in the 2025 NFL season, showcasing the team’s resilience and capability to overcome challenges. Lloyd expressed pride in his team’s execution and their ability to believe in one another throughout the match. His interception was a key defensive play, credited to a well-timed call and support from teammates, allowing him to successfully reach the end zone.
The atmosphere during the game was thrilling, with Lloyd highlighting the role of the fans in energizing the team, especially during crucial moments. He referred to the experience as “incredible,” reflecting the vibrant environment of the stadium. This victory not only showcased the Jaguars’ skill but also marked Lloyd’s 99-yard pick-six as the longest interception return in Jaguars franchise history.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a standout game of his own, completing 18-of-25 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, Lawrence contributed two rushing touchdowns, including an impressive run late in the game, leading a game-winning 60-yard touchdown drive. This drive was highlighted by a crucial 33-yard completion to receiver Brian Thomas Jr., solidifying the team’s success as time was running out.
Rookie receiver Travis Hunter also made significant contributions to the game, recording three catches for 64 yards, with a crucial 44-yard reception aiding the Jaguars during their game-tying touchdown drive.
