With the extra point, the Jaguars were up 7-0 within the first five minutes of the game.
Brian Thomas, who scored his second touchdown of the season, also had a 16-yard reception earlier in the drive. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers contributed with two catches for first downs, allowing the Jaguars to move the chains without facing a third down during the drive.
