Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence led his team to victory in London

Calvin Ridley scored against his former team as the Jacksonville Jaguars marked their 10th game in London by marching to a 23-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. 

The Jaguars carried a 17-0 advantage into half-time after Ridley’s opening touchdown and a Darious Williams pick-six as Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder was intercepted on back-to-back plays.

Drake London’s third-quarter touchdown offered hope of a comeback but a Falcons offense that had been largely blunted through the air struggled to bridge the gap in the closing exchanges.

The Jaguars are making history this month by becoming the first NFL team to play back-to-back games overseas, beginning against the Falcons at Wembley before facing the Buffalo Bills at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week Five.

Trevor Lawrence finished 23 of 30 passing for 207 yards and one touchdown, while Josh Allen had two sacks alongside one from Travon Walker amid a swarming display from the standout Jacksonville defense.
