"The first-place Jaguars continue their winning streak, grinding out a 20-10 victory against the Steelers"
First place Jags keep on rolling as they tough out a 20-10 over the Steelers.
In a Sunday game, Trevor Lawrence led the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 20-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking the Jaguars' fifth consecutive win. The Jaguars, with a record of 6-2, strengthened their position atop the AFC South. They achieved this victory through a strong defensive performance that kept the Steelers' inconsistent offense in check.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 292 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Jacksonville's offense, despite making some mistakes, provided enough to secure the win. The pivotal moment in the game came in the third quarter when Lawrence connected with Travis Etienne on a 56-yard touchdown pass. This extended Jacksonville's lead by 14 points, and they maintained control of the game. Jacksonville has been performing well at Acrisure Stadium, winning six of their last seven games there. Travis Etienne had an excellent performance, rushing for 79 yards and catching three passes for 70 yards, including the touchdown play where he sprinted past rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. for the score. Evan Engram also played a significant role with 10 receptions for 88 yards. Pittsburgh faced challenges in the second half as their starting quarterback, Kenny Pickett, left the game late in the first half due to a rib injury. He was replaced by Mitch Trubisky, who threw for 139 yards and a touchdown but also had two interceptions. Despite some momentum shifts in favor of the Steelers, Jacksonville's defense managed to hold firm. In particular, a critical interception by Andrew Wingard in the fourth quarter shifted the momentum back in Jacksonville's favor. Trevor Lawrence, who played with a knee brace, led the Jaguars on a time-consuming drive that was capped off by Brandon McManus' fourth field goal, securing the win. The Jaguars have now won their seventh straight regular-season road game. Jacksonville has overcome a 1-2 start to the season and appears to be a strong contender in the AFC South, with both Trevor Lawrence and their improving defense playing key roles. The Steelers, on the other hand, continue to face challenges despite still being competitive in the AFC North, with an offense and defense that rank near the bottom of the league in various statistical categories, despite their number of wins.
