The 1-4 Jacksonville Jaguars went up against the 3-2 Chicago Bears in what was a really early kickoff live from London.
Considering New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh lost his job after a loss in the last NFL London game, Doug Pederson was put on the proverbial hot seat entering Week 6. The Jaguars were handed a major boost entering the London game with tight end Evan Engram cleared to return to action after missing the last four games with an injury.
Engram didn't take too long to get going with two catches that led to first-downs that made him the third-highest-scoring TE of the season in fantasy football.
The first touchdown of the game came in the second quarter when Caleb Williams found tight end Cole Kmet for a 31-yard touchdown.
In the second quarter, the Jags failed to get going, but just when it looked like the Bears would pile on their misery, Williams coughed up an INT in the middle of a productive drive, turning the ball over. The rookie quarterback made up for that with a 24-yard run and capped off the half with a second TD throw to Kmet, who also doubled as the Bears' long snapper for the day as Chicago entered the break with a 14-3 lead.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Chicago Bears box score
The Bears really began to put on a show in the second half, racing to a 21-3 lead off a Keenan Allen touchdown, his first in a Bears uniform. The Jaguars answered right back with a Gabe Davis touchdown, his first in a Jaguars uniform.
Davis failed to replicate those catches. All in all, Davis dropped two TD catches that would have pulled the Jags in much closer. Between the dropped passes and the penalties, the Jaguars just couldn't get anything going in London.
The Bears take a 4-2 record into their bye week with a 35-16 win as the Jaguars slip to 1-5 with Doug Pederson's job hanging in the balance.
