In a sloppy start to this year’s first game in London, the Jaguars got on the board thanks to a Colts turnover.

It was Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler who tipped an Andrew Luck pass, which was intercepted by rookie defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue that put the Jaguars in business in Colts territory.

From there the Jags marched down the field with T.J. Yeldon rushing for 29 yards and Blake Bortles’ first completion of the game going to Allen Robinson in the end zone for a three-yard touchdown to give Jacksonville a 7-0 lead.

The game didn’t get off to a good start, with both offenses going three-and-out on their first drives. London games have generally not been good, but the Jaguars can feel good now about perhaps getting their first win of the season.
