October 15 – Trevor Lawrence passed for two touchdowns and Travis Etienne Jr. ran for two scores to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 37-20 victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
Christian Kirk and Brenton Strange caught touchdown passes as Jacksonville (4-2) moved into first place in the AFC South. The Jaguars forced four turnovers on a strip-sack by Josh Allen and interceptions by Andre Cisco, Rayshawn Jenkins and Darious Williams.
Lawrence, who sustained a left knee injury, was 20-of-30 passing for 181 yards, two touchdowns and one interception as Jacksonville finished off the two-game regular-season sweep of the Colts. He injured the knee while being sacked by defensive end Samson Ebukam in the fourth quarter, one play before a 51-yard field goal made it a 37-20 lead for Jacksonville at the 3-minute mark. Lawrence spoke to CBS on the field after the game and entered the locker room under his own power.
Two-time NFL tackles leader Foyesade Oluokun had a season-best 15 stops for the Jaguars.
Gardner Minshew completed 33 of 55 passes for 329 yards, one touchdown and a career-worst three interceptions for Indianapolis (3-3). The former Jacksonville quarterback was starting in place of Anthony Richardson, who was placed on injured reserve with a potentially season-ending shoulder injury.
Zack Moss rushed for a touchdown, Josh Downs had a scoring reception and Julius Brents intercepted a pass for the Colts.
The Colts opened the game with a 16-play, 65-yard drive that lasted 8:33 but ultimately settled for Matt Gay’s 28-yard field goal.
The Jaguars seized control with two touchdowns in a span of 16 seconds early in the second quarter and never let up.
Etienne capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 2-yard run 43 seconds into the second quarter to put Jacksonville ahead.
Disaster occurred on the Colts’ next offensive play as Allen recorded his seventh sack of the season — fourth against Indianapolis — and caused Minshew to fumble and Angelo Blackson recovered at the Indianapolis 22-yard line. On the next play, Etienne scooted 22 yards for a touchdown to give the Jaguars a 14-3 advantage with 14:01 left in the first half.
Jacksonville stretched its lead to 18 when Lawrence threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Kirk with 1:40 left in the half. Gay kicked a 56-yard field goal with 6 seconds remaining as the Colts trailed 21-6 at the break.
Jenkins intercepted Minshew early in the third quarter to set up a 48-yard field goal by Brandon McManus. Later in the period, Lawrence tossed a 10-yard scoring pass to Strange to make it 31-6 with 3:51 remaining.
The Colts scored a touchdown with 14:14 left in the game when Minshew connected with Downs on a 2-yard scoring pass.
Moss tacked on a 3-yard scoring run to bring the Colts within 31-20 with 7:14 left.
McManus added field goals of 49 and 51 yards for Jacksonville.

IMPD: No suspect in custody in officer's shooting, but there is no 'ongoing threat'
This article will update.
A police officer was injured in a shooting on the city’s far east side Friday and police were searching late into the night for whoever pulled the trigger.
Police said the event started unfolding shortly after 8:30 p.m. in the 3600 block of North Wittfield Street, near East 36th Street and North Post Road in the city’s Northeastwood neighborhood. The shooting happened after officers responded to the area on a “shots fired” call.
Shortly after the shooting police said the immediate area was not safe and residents were asked to stay inside their homes and avoid the neighborhood. About 11:15 p.m. police said a sweep of the area — including with K-9s — did not surface a suspect, but they did not believe there was an ongoing threat any longer.
Anyone with information or video footage is asked to call 911.
“There’s a lot that we don’t know about this incident. And we’re hopeful that we will learn more later on,” Capt. Shane Foley said during a media briefing at the scene.
The 8-year veteran officer was taken to Eskenazi Hospital in stable condition.
Shortly before 1 a.m., during a briefing at the hospital, Asst. Chief Michael Wooley said a house also was hit by gunfire but no residents were struck. Wooley said no officers fired their weapons and body cameras were activated throughout the situation.
The injured officer suffered gunshot wounds to his abdomen and right arm and was stable after undergoing surgery, Chief Chris Bailey said.
“He is expected to make a full recovery, although (he) is going to be in the hospital for some days,” Bailey added.
Police have not released a description of the suspect in the shooting, who remained at large early Saturday.
“Right now, officers are all over the city, looking for the individual or individuals responsible for what happened,” Bailey said.
Officers will remain in the neighborhood collecting evidence likely past sunrise, he added.
The K9 sweep of the area is complete.
IMPD is not aware of any ongoing threat to the public at this time, however, no suspects are currently in custody.
Media should stage at 36th/N Post Rd just east, but park on the NW corner. https://t.co/Es3zCovZrU

Second Indianapolis police officer shot this year
This is the second time this year an Indianapolis police officer has been shot. In March an off-duty officer working security at an east side bar on East Washington Street was hit in an exchange of gunfire with at least one suspect. A man who was injured in that shooting died at a local hospital.
The bar where that shooting happened, 11:11 Bar & Grille, located at 9439 E. Washington St., was closed by unanimous vote of the Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission.
