Jacksonville takes control early
Trevor Lawrence threw for 245 yards and four touchdowns as the Jacksonville Jaguars opened the 2026 season with a 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns at EverBank Stadium. Jacksonville scored 14 points in the first quarter and added 10 in the second, taking a 24-0 lead into halftime. The Jaguars outscored Cleveland 10-3 in the third quarter to stretch the margin to 34-3 before the Browns scored seven points in the fourth. The Jaguars start 1-0, while Cleveland heads into Week 2 at 0-1.
Lawrence spreads the touchdowns around
Lawrence completed 18 of 23 passes, with four different receivers catching a touchdown. Parker Washington led Jacksonville with five catches for 83 yards on six targets. Jakobi Meyers caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a score. Brenton Strange added two catches for 23 yards and a touchdown, while Josh Cameron turned his two targets into two receptions for 20 yards and a score. That distribution gave Jacksonville touchdown production beyond its leading receiver without requiring heavy catch totals from the rest of the group.
Cleveland gets limited scoring from its production
Deshaun Watson completed 16 of 22 passes for 205 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran six times for 38 yards. Denzel Boston supplied Cleveland’s receiving touchdown, finishing with two catches for 59 yards on four targets. KC Concepcion caught four of five targets for 43 yards and added 15 yards on three carries. Quinshon Judkins gained 33 yards on 12 carries and caught both of his targets for 17 yards. Cleveland’s scoreless first half left it facing a substantial deficit before its offense put points on the board.
Fantasy returns favor Jacksonville
Lawrence led the game’s fantasy production with 26.1 PPR points. Washington followed at 19.3, pairing the strongest listed receiving line with a touchdown. Meyers delivered 12.2 PPR points despite catching only two passes, while Strange scored 10.3 and Cameron finished with 10.0. Their touchdowns boosted modest reception totals. Cam Little added 12.0 points. For Cleveland, Watson scored 14.0 PPR points and Boston finished with 13.9.
