Game Analysis
Jacksonville is feeling better about itself following a 32-16 victory over New England in London. The Jaguars played their best game of the season and hope to have come carryover back across the pond.
“I definitely feel like we have some momentum, especially compared to where we were the first month of the season,” quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. “Obviously, it hasn’t always been perfect, but I really do feel like we’ve trusted our process. We’ve trusted the coaches, the players, our teammates around us, and we have found some success here lately. We just have to do it again.”
Injuries
Lawrence could be without his college teammate in running back Travis Etienne, who is dealing with a persistent hamstring injury ahead of this game. Tank Bigsby will likely need to fill in.
Corey Ballentine, a core special teamer, is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury for the Packers.
