JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Interstat) — The Jacksonville Jaguars delivered a dominant defensive performance, stifling the Los Angeles Chargers in a 35-6 victory on Sunday at a rain-soaked EverBank Stadium.

A crowd of 58,461 watched as the Jaguars defense recorded five sacks and forced two turnovers, holding the Chargers’ offense to just two field goals. The win improved Jacksonville’s record to 6-4, while the Chargers fell to 7-4.

The game’s trajectory was set early by the Jaguars’ relentless defensive pressure. The Chargers managed to take an early lead with a 41-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker on their opening drive, but the offense could not sustain any momentum against a swarming Jacksonville front.

Jacksonville took control late in the first quarter, capitalizing on a key defensive pass interference penalty that placed the ball at the Los Angeles 4-yard line. Rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten powered into the end zone on the next play to give the Jaguars a 7-3 lead, a margin they would not relinquish.

The Chargers’ offensive struggles were compounded by the Jaguars’ pass rush, which consistently harassed Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert. The defensive effort was a collective one, with Josh Hines-Allen notching a sack, while Travon Walker and Danny Striggow combined for another. Arik Armstead also brought down Herbert for a loss.

Herbert finished the game 10 of 18 for 81 yards and was sacked three times before being replaced by Trey Lance in the fourth quarter. Lance completed 3 of 8 passes for 37 yards and was also sacked twice. The Chargers’ leading receiver was Keenan Allen, who caught four passes for 53 yards.

Jacksonville’s offense, while not explosive through the air, was efficient and controlled the clock with a powerful ground game. Trevor Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. His primary target was Jakobi Meyers, who caught five passes for 64 yards.

The Jaguars’ backfield duo of Travis Etienne Jr. and Tuten provided the bulk of the scoring. Etienne rushed for 73 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns, while Tuten added 74 yards on 15 carries and a score.

After taking a 14-6 lead into halftime, the Jaguars extended their advantage on Lawrence’s rushing touchdown in the third quarter. The rout was cemented in the fourth quarter when a Herbert pass intended for Ladd McConkey was intercepted by Jaguars safety Antonio Johnson, who returned it 44 yards to the Los Angeles 13.

Two plays later, Etienne broke free for a 13-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing Chargers possession, Herbert’s next pass was again intercepted, leading to a 1-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence to Tim Patrick.

The Chargers’ defense was led by linebacker Denzel Perryman and safety Elijah Molden, who each recorded seven tackles, but they were on the field for extended periods as the offense repeatedly stalled. Chargers punter JK Scott was a busy man, punting four times for 195 yards.

The victory marks a significant rebound for the Jaguars, who were coming off a loss to Houston. The Chargers, meanwhile, saw a two-game winning streak snapped in decisive fashion. Jacksonville travels to face the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, while the Chargers have a bye week before hosting the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 30.
