Jaguars interception negated by roughing the passer call

Doug Pederson confident in Jaguars’ roster ahead of regular season

The Jacksonville Jaguars appeared to finally end their lengthy streak of not recording a takeaway, but a Devin Lloyd interception was negated by a penalty.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw into traffic into the middle of the field, but officials flagged linebacker Foye Oluokun for making helmet-to-helmet contact with Jones on a blitz up the middle.

Untimely penalties on the Jaguars defense have proven costly in the past, including a Josh Allen offsides penalty earlier against the Giants that extended a drive that should’ve reached a fourth down on the play.

Fortunately for Jacksonville, the roughing call on Oluokun didn’t help the Giants much. After a Saquon Barkley put the ball just a few yards from the goal line, Barkley was stuffed on second down and the Giants threw back-to-back incomplete passes on third and fourth down plays.

Lloyd had two interceptions earlier in the season, but the Jaguars haven’t forced a turnover since recording a pick-six early in the Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
