Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars error gives Green Bay Packers early Packers lead

The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t wait until Halloween to get spooky.

An interception and ghost pass interference call set up a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at EverBank Stadium.

After rookie defenseman Jarrian Jones secured his first career pick and gave Jacksonville the ball, the team was unable to take advantage of the extra possession.

Two plays into the drive, Trevor Lawrence was picked off by Xavier McKinney, who secured his NFL-best sixth interception of the season.

Buster Brown was then called for a pass interference penalty, which gave Green Bay short field position for a Josh Jacobs touchdown.

It was a series of unfortunate events that led to the Jaguars trailing in the first half. The Packers added a field goal on their next possession and led 10-0 with six minutes left.

The Jaguars finally gained a lead late in the first half, capping it with a TD run from Lawrence to get on the scoreboard.
