Trevor Lawrence directed five touchdown drives and Travis Etienne ran for a pair of TDs Sunday afternoon as the Jacksonville Jaguars rolled to a 35-6 rout of the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, whose offense rarely was on the field.
Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards before exiting in the fourth as the Jaguars (6-4) posted their most lopsided win this season after dropping three of their previous four. He helped the Jaguars hold possession for 37:55 minutes, including nearly 16 1/2 minutes on two drives that turned a 14-6 halftime lead into a rout and helped the Jaguars finish with a season-high 30 first downs.
Lawrence scored on a 1-yard run with 7:50 left in the third, then found Tim Patrick in the back of the end zone three minutes into the fourth on a 1-yard toss to give Jacksonville a 28-6 lead.
Etienne scored from 2 yards out on a direct snap with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half. He rumbled in for a 13-yard score to cap the scoring two plays after Anthony Johnson intercepted Justin Herbert and returned it 44 yards with 11:02 left in the game.
Etienne ran 15 times for 73 yards while rookie Bhayshul Tuten finished with 74 yards on 15 carries.
Herbert completed 10 of 18 passes for a career-low 81 yards and was lifted for Trey Lance in the fourth quarter. Herbert was sacked twice and briefly spent time in the blue medical tent after being hit by B.J. Green III with 34 seconds left in the first half.
Los Angeles (7-4) saw a three-game winning streak halted, finishing with eight first downs and 135 yards of total offense.
The Chargers took a 3-0 lead on Cameron Dicker’s 41-yard field goal with 3:35 left in first before Tuten withstood two defenders for a 4-yard run up the middle with no time left in the first.
Los Angeles settled for another field goal by Dicker after Herbert was sacked by Josh Hines-Allen for a 14-yard loss with 8:56 left. The Jaguars extended the lead to 14-6 when Etienne scored on a direct snap in the wildcat with 3:37 left in the first half.
