In a subsequent matchup, the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the New Orleans Saints 24-20 after overcoming a halftime deficit. The Jaguars were fueled by J’Mari Taylor’s 78 rushing yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. The Saints saw strong play from Zach Wilson, who completed 11 of 16 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown.
