JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS NEWS

Devin Lloyd - Nine tackles in win Lloyd had nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact It was the third straight game that Lloyd had at least nine tackles and he played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the first time since Week 1. His 48 tackles in six games ranks second on the team -- well behind the 92 of Foye Oluokun -- and he's seemingly over the thumb injury that caused him to miss two games earlier in the year.

Josh Allen - Two sacks in Week 8 win Allen registered five tackles (three solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Both of Allen's sacks came in the second half on Mitch Trubisky, who subbed in for Kenny Pickett (ribs). Allen has played in at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in three straight games and his nine sacks on the year ranks second in the NFL behind Danielle Hunter (10). Allen is just 1.5 sacks from surpassing his career-high in his rookie year and will get a chance to hit that mark after the bye in Week 10 against the 49ers.

Foyesade Oluokun - Leads team in tackles Week 8 Oluokun had 11 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact It's the third game in a row that Oluokun has registered double-digit tackles and the sixth time this season he has hit that mark. He leads the team with 92 tackles -- 44 ahead of Devin Lloyd, who sits in second on the team, and ranks second in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (102). Oluokun has played on every defensive snap for the Jaguars this year and will likely hit 100-plus tackles for the season. The Jaguars have a bye in Week 10 against the 49ers.

Jaguars are atop the AFC South at their bye, but no one imagined defense would be the catalyst

Jamal Agnew - No targets in win Agnew didn't receive a target, returned one kickoff for 27 yards and three punts for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.

Impact The veteran return man had four catches for 36 yards last week but wasn't involved in the passing game Sunday despite the continued absence of Zay Jones (knee). Agnew played just 20 offensive snaps compared to Tim Jones' 25, but neither wideout received a target from quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Brandon McManus - Delivers from distance McManus made all four of his field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra point during Sunday's 20-10 win versus the Steelers.

Impact Jacksonville's offense struggled to finish its drives Sunday in Pittsburgh, but McManus came through with field goals from 51, 50, 38 and 37 yards out to build a lead. The 32-year-old is 18-for-18 on PATs and 17-for-19 on field goals this season, with 12 of those made field goals coming in the past five games.

Tank Bigsby - Three carries Week 8 Bigsby carried three times for nine yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.

Impact The 22-year-old saw six offensive snaps as starter Travis Etienne received 27 touches for 149 yards and a touchdown while playing an 89 percent snap share. Etienne continues to operate as Jacksonville's workhorse back, leaving minimal opportunities for Bigsby in the No. 2 role.

Evan Engram - Ten catches in Week 8 win Engram caught all 10 of his targets for 88 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Engram has seen plenty of volume throughout the season, but the tight end has yet to find the end zone while doing most of his damage near the line of scrimmage. He led the Jaguars in receiving yards in this game and set a season high in that category, but Engram also lost a fumble in the red zone. Heading into Jacksonville's Week 9 bye, the tight end has 51 catches for 434 yards on 61 targets.

Calvin Ridley - Targeted 10 times in Week 8 Ridley caught six of 10 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Ridley tied Evan Engram for the team lead in targets while finishing five yards shy of Engram's team-leading total. In his three best games -- including this one -- Ridley has combined for 21 catches, 306 yards and one touchdown on 29 targets, but he has just 12 catches for 145 yards and one touchdown on 29 targets across five other games. He'll remain a low-floor, high-ceiling option in Week 10 against the 49ers following Jacksonville's Week 9 bye.

Christian Kirk - Four catches in Week 8 Kirk caught four of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact Kirk came into the game leading Jacksonville in targets and receiving yards, but he finished fourth on the team in both categories in this one behind Evan Engram, Calvin Ridley and Travis Etienne. Those four players account for the majority of the Jaguars' scrimmage yards, but one or two usually take a back seat on any given week. Kirk drew the short straw this time but will look to build on his season totals of 43 catches for 520 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets when the Jaguars face the 49ers in Week 10 after a Week 9 bye.

Trevor Lawrence - Just shy of 300 yards in win Lawrence (knee) completed 24 of 32 passes for 292 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over Pittsburgh. He added one rushing attempt for 10 yards.

Impact With Jacksonville leading 6-0 and looking for more, Lawrence was picked off in the end zone on 1st-and-goal. Lawrence finally got the offense into the end zone with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Travis Etienne in the third quarter, but that was his only touchdown pass of the afternoon, as Lawrence has a modest 9:4 TD:INT heading into Jacksonville's Week 9 bye after posting a 25:8 TD:INT last season. The 24-year-old quarterback came eight yards shy of his second 300-yard performance of 2023 after reaching that mark four times in 2022.

Travis Etienne Jr. - Extends TD streak with first rec TD Etienne rushed 24 times for 79 yards and ran in a two-point conversion while catching three of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

Impact After rushing for two touchdowns in each of Jacksonville's previous three games, Etienne scored the first receiving touchdown of his career on a 56-yard catch in the third quarter and immediately followed that up by running in a two-point conversion. Shortly prior to that productive sequence, Etienne had left the game to be evaluated for an ankle injury. The 24-year-old running back set a new career high in receiving yards and would have topped 80 rushing yards for the third time this season had he not combined for minus-4 yards on three carries on Jacksonville's final possession. His productivity after returning suggests Etienne's ankle scare is unlikely to impact his availability moving forward, especially with a Week 9 bye providing extra rest before a Week 10 home game against the 49ers.

Daniel Thomas - Exits game with hamstring injury Thomas (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Impact Thomas has contributed solely on special teams this season. With the game down to the two-minute warning, he's unlikely to return to the field.
