Isaiah Likely
Mark Andrews is a Pro Bowl tight end, but Isaiah Likely has done more than step up in his absence.
Likely has 12 catches, 163 yards, and 2 TDs in relief of Andrews, including this grab.
He's Likely back in the end zone❗@Lj_era8 ➡️ @DaGorilla4

Zay Jones
Brandon Stephens held Jaguars pass catchers in check for the most part, but this Zay Jones catch put Jacksonville in scoring position before a Trevor Lawrence blunder.
