The Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense came into Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts ranked 14th in DVOA, but it would appear that Doug Pederson and his staff want to up the ante a bit, and they want to do so in the run game.
With 14:17 left in the second quarter, Jags running back Travis Etienne Jr. took the ball into the end zone from two yards out.

On the Colts’ first offensive play after that, pass-rusher Josh Allen forced a Gardner Minshew fumble, and Jacksonville got the ball back at the Indianapolis 22-yard line.

The Jaguars responded with a direct snap to Etienne, who ran 22-yards for his second touchdown in 16 clock seconds. Not bad!
