DETROIT — It was a hard day for the Jaguars, as Detroit historically beat Jacksonville, handing them the worst loss since the Jaguars have been a team.
In the teams' opening drive, quarterback Mac Jones got the Big Cats in somewhat field goal range. The Jaguars' kicker, Cam Little, hit a massive 59-yard field goal, which put the Jaguars in the lead first, 3-0.
The Lions punch right back. This time with David Montgomery's two-yard rushing touchdown. With the extra point good, the Lions took the lead, 7-3.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lions are still in the lead, 7-3.
To start the second quarter, the Lions stayed on the field and it was Jahmyr Gibbs who wrapped up the one-yard rushing touchdown. The Lions are still in the lead, 14-3.
With seven minutes left in the first half, David Montgomery picked up his second touchdown of the day with the six-yard rush. The Lions up their lead, 20-3.
Just a few minutes later, Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown completes the 27-yard pass from Jared Goff. The Jaguars won't be able to come back at this rate. The Lions were up big, 28-3.
