Browns vs Jaguars: Insight into the 2024 Week 2 Clash
Browns vs Jaguars: A Dramatic Showdown
JACKSONVILLE – Another week, another fourth quarter, another chance. Another disappointing finish. The Jaguars, after a sluggish start, scrapped and clawed and nearly overcame a double-digit second-half deficit in the 2024 regular-season home opener Sunday. But the Cleveland Browns made key plays late to secure an 18-13 victory on a rain-soaked day in front of 60,105.
“I’m at a loss,” Head Coach Doug Pederson said, with center Mitch Morse adding: “Disappointment is an understatement.” Quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s last-play pass to tight end Brenton Strange fell incomplete in the end zone, ensuring the Jaguars’ second consecutive tight fourth-quarter loss to start the season.
Key Moments
- The Jaguars lost to the Miami Dolphins, 20-17, in Week 1.
- With 1:42 remaining, Browns defensive end Alex Wright sacked Lawrence for a safety.
- Lawrence emphasized the need for urgent change within the team.
Coaching Accountability
Pederson stated, “We shouldn't be playing the way we're playing. It starts with me and then it goes to the assistant coaches and the players.”
Lawrence added, “We’ve got a lot of good teams on our schedule, so we have to fix it quick.”
