Key Plays in Jaguars’ 2024 Home Opener Loss to Browns

5. Too many struggles. While the second half was defined by Etienne’s lost fumble in the red zone, the Jaguars’ loss in a very real sense was just as defined by the offense’s struggles throughout the final two quarters. The Jaguars took a 17-7 halftime lead and had possession to start the second half. They managed 12 yards and no first downs on the first two second-half possessions. “We didn’t score any points in the second half,” Lawrence said. “That’s something that can’t happen if we’re going to win a lot of games, which is the plan. We have to score more.” The Jaguars drove 94 yards on their third possession of the second half, a drive that ended with Etienne’s fumble into the end zone, but managed just one first down on five other second-half possessions. “That’s the only good drive we had the whole half,” Lawrence said of the 94-yarder.
