Match report week 4 2024

JACKSONVILLE – The day was wet, strange and wild – and historic.

Most importantly, the Jaguars won when they needed to win and now have some momentum as they prepare for their two-game road stretch.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw two for touchdowns and running back Tank Bigsby ran for two more as the Jaguars won on “Throwback Sunday” – a heartbreaking 37-34 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on a wet, gray October Sunday at EverBank Stadium.

Rookie kicker Cam Little's 49-yard field goal gave the Jaguars the lead – and the win – with 17 minutes left after the Colts rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The Jaguars gained 39 yards on eight plays leading to the game-winning field goal.

The Jaguars wore their Throwback Prowler jerseys for the first time on Sunday – based on the jerseys they first wore in their 1995 expansion season. Former head coach Tom Coughlin, the franchise's first head coach, was inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars at halftime.
