4. Just short. Momentum turned with the Jaguars leading 7-3 with 11:21 remaining in the first half, with the Bills stopping a run by Lawrence inches short on fourth-and-2 from the Bills 9. Lawrence initially appeared to gain the line to gain, but the Bills challenged and Lawrence was ruled short. The Bills immediately drove 92 yards on 10 plays, with Allen powering for a 2-yard run for a 10-7 lead with 5:37 remaining in the second quarter. Key play on the drive: A 36-yard pass deep down the right sideline from Allen to wide receiver Keon Coleman on second-and-10 from the Jaguars 44. “Not even a close decision,” Coen said. “It was all go for it on all the metrics. With where you’re at down there that low, you’ve got to go for it. Fourth down, that low, you at least feel like you’re going to have to an opportunity to stop them and have a field-position change, and very worst you get the ball back with good field position, and it didn’t end up working out.”
