Offensive Line: B+
Every game this season, the offense has enjoyed quality first possessions but many ended in a turnover or failure to convert. On Sunday, the unit finally found pay dirt with a five-yard run from McCaffrey.
Allen wasn’t as accurate this week but he still managed to make history with another win, the fourth of his career without a loss or interception. Jaguars cornerback Tre Herndon was close to breaking the streak after coming down with a deep pass late in the game but ultimately it was reviewed and ruled incomplete.
McCaffrey finished with 237 total yards and three touchdowns but was sidelined late with what appeared to be cramping issues. Reggie Bonnafon entered, adding 80 yards on five carries including a 59-yard score to keep the game out of reach.
