Considering the Jaguars have won three contests by more than 29 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Jayden Vongprachanh-Nelson had an outrageously good game as he threw for 240 yards and a pair of touchdowns while completing 86.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards and two scores.
