Jaguars Rout Chargers 35-6 to Bolster AFC Playoff Position

The blowout reset Jacksonville's playoff footing by giving them key tiebreakers.

Overview

  • Jacksonville limited Los Angeles to 135 total yards and pressured Justin Herbert on roughly half his dropbacks, holding him to a career-low 81 passing yards before a concussion check.
  • The Jaguars leaned on the run with 47 attempts for 192 yards and four touchdowns, controlling possession for 37:55.
  • Trevor Lawrence was sacked zero times and Jacksonville did not punt for the first time since 2010, converting five of six red-zone trips.
  • Josh Hines-Allen recorded a first-quarter sack to become the franchise's all-time leader, helping the Jaguars move to 6-4.
  • The victory gives Jacksonville head-to-head tiebreakers over the Chargers and Chiefs, while Los Angeles enters its bye at 7-4 facing offensive line injuries and a tougher path that could require three or four more wins.
