LONDON – The Jaguars started slowly and never restarted. At least not soon enough.

The results: A second consecutive loss, this one in one-sided fashion, and an overseas trip home one game over .500 entering a late-October bye.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw five touchdown passes – three in the first half – for a Los Angeles Rams team that dominated from the start, pulling steadily away for a 35-7 victory over the Jaguars in front of 86,152 at Wembley Stadium Sunday afternoon.

"Everything we said we did not want to occur did occur, and it starts with me," Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence adding:

"We just got beat today. We didn't play good enough."

The Jaguars after a 4-1 start to the 2025 season are 4-3 entering a Week 8 bye, with the Rams now 5-2.

"It's definitely frustrating," Coen said.

Lawrence completed 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards and 1 touchdown with no interceptions, with running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushing for 44 yards on eight carries. The Jaguars rushed for 92 yards as a team, 26 in the first half.

"We have to get better," Lawrence said. "Obviously we haven't played our best football the last couple of weeks."

Lawrence's touchdown pass: A 34-yarder in the fourth quarter to rookie wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter, a play that marked the first NFL touchdown for the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

"I was just thinking about putting points on the board for the team," Hunter said.

The touchdown made it 28-7, Rams. Hunter caught eight passes for 101 yards and one touchdown.

"I'm not worried about the stats," Hunter said. "We just have to do better on the football field. We just have to win. That's what I'm focused on. We're frustrated. We have to do better. We all know we have to do better. We're frustrated with ourselves because we have to be better than that."

Stafford completed 21 of 33 passes for 182 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions, with first-quarter touchdown passes of 5 yards to wide receiver Komata Mumpfield and 2 yards to wide receiver Davante Adams.

"Matthew was on one today," Coen said.

The Rams scored touchdowns on three of their first four drives, with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Adams giving them a 21-0 halftime lead. Adams caught five passes for 35 yards and three touchdowns, with the Rams playing without leading wide receiver Puka Nacua.

Stafford threw second-half touchdowns of 31 yards to tight end Terrance Ferguson and 1 yard to Adams.

The Jaguars drove to at least the Rams 32 on four possessions in the second and third quarters. Kicker Cam Little missed a 50-yard field goal on the first possession, with Lawrence stopped short of a first down running on a late first-half fourth down and throwing incomplete on fourth down on the Jaguars' first two third-quarter possessions.

The Jaguars had 126 yards offense and six first downs in the first half, punting on their first three possessions.

"Early on, it was tough to get anything going offensively," Coen said.

The Rams scored touchdowns on all three of their possessions inside the Jaguars' 20-yard line in the first half.

The Jaguars registered no sacks and no takeaways defensively Sunday, having entered the game leading the NFL in takeaways with 14 and tied for 27th in the NFL with eight sacks.

They were penalized 13 times for 119 yards Sunday, including five times for 66 yards in a first half in which they were outgained 156-26. The Rams had 17 first-half first downs to six for the Jaguars.

Coen said moving forward and fixing issues "will start on the plane home, with that opportunity to watch the tape, flush the feeling in some ways, which won't go away for a little while I'm sure, especially on a bye here.

"We have to self-scout in all three phases," Coen said. "We have to look at personnel in all three phases – how we're utilizing it, how we aren't utilizing it, where do we need to use guys more or use guys less.

"It's all going to get evaluated."
