In a commanding performance to kick off the 2026 season, the Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Cleveland Browns 38-7. This matchup was critical for both teams as they aimed to establish momentum early in the season, but the Jaguars made a strong statement right out of the gate. Trevor Lawrence showcased his prowess, throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Jaguars' explosive offense. Bhayshul Tuten added a solid ground game with 90 rushing yards, while Jakobi Meyers was a standout receiver, racking up an impressive 160 yards and making key plays to keep drives alive. Defensively, the Jaguars were relentless, with Travon Walker dominating the pass rush, tallying 2.5 sacks and consistently pressuring the Browns' quarterback. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Jaguars scored back-to-back touchdowns, stretching their lead and putting the game out of reach for Cleveland.
