1. The Jaguars’ defensive front is going to cause a lot of problems for quarterbacks this season. It was relentless Sunday against an offensive line still considered among the NFL’s best with guard Quenton Nelson, center Ryan Kelly and right tackle Braden Smith. Outside linebackers coach Bill Shuey this week offered a sly smile when asked about Josh Allen and Travon Walker as a duo. The Colts weren’t smiling Sunday. Those two had Colts quarterback Matt Ryan counting as he took the snap and Jaguars interior linemen Roy Robertson-Harris, Foley Fatukasi, DaVon Hamilton and Adam Gotsis put on a show. They’re good – and as defensive linemen Dawuane Smoot and Arden Key find their roles, this defensive front will keep getting better. Just ask Ryan, who was sacked five times and hit 13 other times – pressure that led in no small part to his three interceptions.
2. They said they could fix it. Jaguars players talked about mistakes all week and grew tired of having to answer the questions. A week after committing 13 penalties in a Week 1 loss at Washington, the Jaguars against the Colts committed just three. Last week in Washington, Lawrence completed only 57 percent of his passes; he was 25 of 30 for 83 percent Sunday. Last week in Washington, the Jaguars struggled in the red zone; they scored two touchdowns in two trips inside the Indianapolis 20-yard line Sunday. They’re far from perfect. The running game needs some work and there were still some dropped passes. But this was as good a game as the Jaguars have played since the 2017 season. With a trip to Los Angeles on tap to play the Chargers, it couldn’t come at a better time.
