Lawrence Throws Four Touchdowns as Jaguars Beat Browns 34–10

Jacksonville and Cleveland linemen face each other before the snap.

Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers as Jacksonville opened its season with a 34–10 win over Cleveland on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. The Jaguars scored on their first four possessions and led 24–0 at halftime, leaving the Browns chasing the game throughout the second half.

Jacksonville’s game report credits Lawrence with scoring passes to Parker Washington, Josh Cameron, Brenton Strange and Jakobi Meyers. Washington’s diving 30-yard catch produced the first touchdown. Lawrence had the Jaguars comfortably ahead before leaving the game with 8:12 remaining and the score 34–3.

The final box score lists Lawrence at 18 completions in 23 attempts for 245 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. Washington finished with five catches for 83 yards. Bhayshul Tuten led the rushing attack with 66 yards on 15 carries, helping Jacksonville finish with 127 rushing yards to Cleveland’s 87.

Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 16 of 22 passes for 205 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Denzel Boston caught two passes for 59 yards and the Browns’ only touchdown. Jacksonville finished ahead in total net yards, 360–272, and held the ball for 33:51. Cleveland was penalized 11 times for 75 yards, compared with four penalties for 25 yards against the Jaguars.

The Browns also lost running back Dylan Sampson to a knee injury in the first quarter. Cleveland’s official injury update says he was initially questionable to return before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. He had returned two kickoffs for 64 yards. That announcement did not establish how much time, if any, he would miss beyond Sunday.

For Ravens fans following the division through PowerPage Sports, Cleveland’s loss completes an opening-day contrast with wins by Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Jacksonville’s early scoring gave its defense a favorable game to manage, while the Browns had little room for empty possessions. One result does not settle either team’s season, but it leaves Cleveland with an immediate need to start faster and keep drives alive.
