Trevor Lawrence bemoaned the team not playing complementary football after last week’s defeat to Chicago, but when it mattered most, Jacksonville put together its most complete quarter of the season.

As the clock ticked into the second quarter, the Jags were trailing 10-0, rocking on their heels and seemingly ready to implode. But Jacksonville scored two offensive touchdowns, Parker Washington added a third with a punt return TD — the longest ever in team history and the first ever seen in London — and there was even time for a bully boy two-point conversion. The Jaguars’ 22-point haul was the fourth-highest second-quarter tally in franchise history.

With the Patriots unable to stop Bigsby — who rushed for 114 yards off 26 carries and two TDs — and Lawrence looking like a franchise quarterback, (his 58-yard completion to Thomas was a highlight-reel moment) the turnaround was as complete as it was unexpected.

Equally significant was the rallying of the defense, who stood up big when it mattered. The unit gave up 118 yards in the first quarter, but restricted New England to 18 yards in the second.

All three elements turned the tide of the game — and showed that the team was not ready to quit this afternoon.

After back-to-back wins in London last season, the Jaguars split their overseas games this time. It means the return flight to Jacksonville is enjoyable rather than a funeral.

But there is still significant work to be done after clinching only a third win in the last 13 games. Eschewing a bye on their return to the U.S., Jacksonville has a testing stretch on the horizon, with games against Green Bay, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Detroit and Houston, the latter after a Week 12 bye.

Still, the victory means the Jaguars are 7-6 in England and the crowd of 86,651 was the highest in the history of the London games, which have taken place since 2007.

While this was nominally a Jacksonville home game, of note was the sheer number of Patriots fans, who cheered their team in numbers. — Peter Carline, London correspondent
