Nashville, TN- In Week 11 of the 2023 season, the Tennessee Titans traveled to Jacksonville Jaguars to take on the division rivals Jaguars and fell by a score of 34-14.
The Jaguars got on the board late in the first quarter after QB Will Levis fumbled a high snap which LB Foyesade Oluokun recovered to give the Jaguars the ball at the Jacksonville 43-yard line. The Jaguars drove down to the Tennessee three-yard line where QB Trevor Lawrence found WR Calvin Ridley for the touchdown to take a 7-0 lead.
Later in the second quarter, the Jaguars strung together an 11-play, 77-yard drive that culminated in a K Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal to give the Jaguars the 10-0 lead.
With 1:48 left in the half, the Jaguars got the ball back after the Titans were forced to punt. Jacksonville drove down to the Tennessee 14-yard line off a 34-yard completion between Lawrence and Ridley but were forced to settle for another McManus field to make it 13-0 in at the half.
Jacksonville opened the second half with a nine-play, 73-yard scoring drive capped off by a nine-yard touchdown run by Lawrence to put the Jaguars up 20-0 with 9:12 remaining in the third.
