The Jacksonville Jaguars are now 2-1 on the season after beating the Los Angeles Chargers on the road.
Hot Start

First Half
In the first quarter, James Robinson became the fifth-fastest undrafted player to total 2,000 rushing yards in NFL history. Outside of that, the game got off to a slow start as the first quarter ended scoreless.
The Jaguars put it into gear in the second quarter, however. Riley Patterson got things started as he hit a pair of field goals on back-to-back drives.
Patterson finally got some help as Trevor Lawrence found Zay Jones for the 14-yard touchdown pass after a strip sack of Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

Patterson then capped it off with another field goal with a minute left in the half. Between the touchdown and the field goal, The Chargers finally got things rolling as Herbert found Mike Williams on a 15-yard pass. Jaguars took the 16-7 lead into the half.
Second Half
Jacksonville did not take its lead for granted. After giving up a field goal on the first possession from halftime, the defense dug in, and the offense took off. Robinson would crack things open for the Jags as he would break off a monstrous 50-yard run to answer back.
