The Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured a commanding 30-6 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Buccaneers' kicker Chase McLaughlin contributing significantly through field goals of 24, 31, and 51 yards. The Jaguars' offense struggled, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence ended the game with a stat line of 17-for-29 for 211 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions, along with a fumble. His performance was further marred by a shoulder injury, which led to backup C.J. Beathard replacing him in the fourth quarter. Despite a late touchdown pass from Lawrence to Ridley, the Jaguars could not close the gap. Buccaneers' wide receiver Mike Evans caught a touchdown pass, while Jaguars' kicker McManus missed a 52-yard field goal, his fifth miss in the last six attempts. The Buccaneers' defense was formidable, limiting the Jaguars to a mere 84 total yards in the first half.

Now reporting Trevor has shoulder injury and that may have been reason Doug pulled him instead of the scoreboard. Find out after game. #Jaguars
So now that #Jaguars have broken the shutout and Trevor has a TD pass, Pederson pulls him early in 4th quarter in favor of C.J. Beathard.
Trevor rolls right, fires 18-yd. TD pass to Ridley. #Jaguars avoid shutout with 50 seconds left in 3Q. 2-point PAT pass for Jones incomplete. @buccaneers lead 30-6.
After Tre Herndon drops potential pick-6, @buccaneers get 51-yd FG by McLaughlin for 30-0 lead. It's coal for #Jaguars stocking this year. That's a TB record 15 straight FGs made.
Chase McLaughlin's 51-yard field goal extends the Bucs lead over the Jaguars to 30-0. Somebody chose violence today...
#Jaguars turn ball over on downs at TB 40. Time to let Trevor hit the reset button, but not sure whether Pederson allows him to sit.
That's now 3 Trevor turnovers, this time a strip-sack fumble by Yaya Diaby, that @buccaneers have turned into TDs. TB leads 27-0, might have to consider sitting Lawrence and letting C.J. Beathard take over. We'll see what Pederson does. #Jaguar
Trevor Lawrence with two interceptions and a fumble lost as the Jags trail Tampa 20-0 minutes into the third quarter.
#Jaguars struggling offense has 84 total yards in first half. 2 Trevor picks turned into @buccaneers TDs. Not good. Down 17-0 at half.
What a first-half disaster for #Jaguars, who give up 2nd TD pass to Mike Evans after 2nd Trevor INT. Trail 17-0 with :45 left.
Trevor Lawrence INT and Jacksonville is in some trouble in Tampa. Jaguars don't look good at all, 0 points first half vs beat-up defense
Good field position from missed McManus FG leads to @buccaneers 31-yd FG by former #Jaguars K Chase McLaughlin (2020) for 13-0 TB lead with 2:27 left in 2Q. #Jaguars need 2-minute offense to get in gear, then get 2nd-half kickoff. Gotta get some momentum going.
Bucs extend their lead over the Jags to 13-0 with a 31-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin. A roughing the passer call on Andre Cisco kept that drive alive but they could not capitalize. On third-and-11, a short pass to Cade Otton went for 7 yards before he was brought down.
#Jaguars move ball to TB 26, but end-around for Ridley loses 12 yards and McManus 52-yd FG wide right. That is McManus' 5th miss in last 6 attempts. @buccaneers still lead 10-0 with 6:20 left in 2Q.
Bucs strike first against the Jags with a 24-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin. Rookie Trey Palmer getting involved early on this one with 18 and 8-yard receptions. Chris Godwin also hauled in a 22-yard reception. Three third-down conversions on that drive.
