The Jaguars, who entered the game having scored at least 25 points in a franchise-record eight consecutive games, committed two turnovers – both in the red zone – and were stopped on a key fourth down in the fourth quarter.
“It wasn’t the prettiest,” Lawrence said. “There are a lot of things on offense we can clean up.”
The AFC South-leading Jaguars (12-4), winners of seven consecutive games and eight of the last nine, remain a game ahead of the Houston Texans (11-5) in the division. The Texans beat the Los Angeles Chargers (11-5), 20-16, in Los Angeles, Cal., Saturday.
The Jaguars can clinch their third AFC South title in nine seasons with a victory at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. The Colts (8-8) have lost six consecutive games.
“We have to go finish the job,” Lawrence said.
The Jaguars remain the AFC’s No. 3 seed in the AFC, a game behind the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos (13-3) and AFC East-leading New England Patriots (13-3). The Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City Thursday and the Patriots beat the New York Jets Sunday.
Sunday marked the Jaguars’ second-largest come-from-behind victory this season. They overcame a 14-point deficit in a 31-28 home victory over the Chiefs in Week 4. The Jaguars entered Sunday having won four consecutive games by 14 or more points.
“The biggest positive is just finding a way to win,” Lawrence said. “It’s hard to win. That’s a good team. Their season obviously the last few weeks hasn’t gone the way they want it to, but it’s still a really good team that’s hard to beat.”
