LONDON – Senior writer John Oehser examines five key plays from the Jaguars' 32-16 victory over the New England Patriots in a Week 7, 2024 game at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday.

1. All.The.Way. The Jaguars turned a difficult start into a big advantage with a great second quarter on Sunday, where special teams had the biggest play late in the half. After trailing 10-0 early in the second quarter, the Jaguars had built a four-point lead when they forced a Patriots punt shortly after the two-minute warning before halftime. Jaguars second-year wide receiver Parker Washington intercepted Bryce Baringer's 66-yard punt on the Jaguars' fourth-and-1. He ran through a large hole in coverage and easily evaded Baringer en route to a 96-yard punt return. “A special moment,” Washington called the piece. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence's two-point pass to rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. extended the Jaguars' lead to 22-10 with 1:34 left in the second quarter, with Washington's return setting a record for the longest punt -Return in franchise history. “It's crazy because I've been talking to teammates all week and they're like, 'You're going to get one, you're going to score,'” he said. “Being able to go out and make a play.” That's what made it fun.” Washington said with a smile afterward, “This is the first time I've gotten that close to the snapper or punter.” My take was, “I'll go through them.” I just trusted my speed. I just wanted to run through them or around them.”
