Jaguars snap five-game losing streak, beat Titans 10-6

The Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10) snapped their five-game losing streak on Sunday, beating the Tennessee Titans (3-10), 10-6, to unlock their third win of the season and first since defeating the New England Patriots in London in Week 7.

Tennessee held a narrow lead from its first offensive series until over halfway through the fourth quarter, when Jacksonville running back Tank Bigsby shed two attempted tackles on an eight-yard rush into the end zone, the game’s only touchdown.

The Titans’ offense received two opportunities to match the Jaguars’ score and retake the lead. Tennessee turned the ball over on downs to conclude both possessions, including an 11-play, 61-yard drive that ended at Jacksonville’s nine-yard line.

The Jaguars and Titans combined for seven punts and five turnovers on Sunday, with Jacksonville quarterback Mac Jones tossing two interceptions and Tennessee’s offense failing to convert on fourth down three times in the latter category.

Jones — who took over as Jacksonville’s starting quarterback after the team placed Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder/concussion) on the injured reserve on Wednesday — completed 23-of-31 passes for 220 yards with the two picks against the Titans.

Jacksonville’s defense largely suffocated Tennessee’s passing offense throughout the matchup. Defensive end Josh Hines-Allen and rookie cornerback Jarrian Jones each sacked Levis, and four Jaguars defenders combined for seven pass breakups, including Jones with two.

The Jaguars will host the New York Jets (3-9 and tied with the Miami Dolphins in the fourth quarter of their Week 14 matchup, 26-26, at press time) at EverBank Stadium, in Week 15, on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
