Jakobi Meyers — Week 4: Twenty-Two Yards to Open the Scoring

Nothing to nothing, five oh nine left in the first quarter against the Bengals, second and seven at the Jacksonville 37. Trevor Lawrence threw deep middle to Jakobi Meyers for 22 yards to the Cincinnati 41. +2 point oh expected points added — expected points added is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position — and six points of win probability, the chance of winning the game after the play against before it. The drive ended in a 55-yard field goal, the first points of the game.

The line: four targets, three catches, 33 yards, two first downs, +2 point oh expected points on the targets. The other first down was third and six at the Jacksonville 29 in the third quarter, up 13 to 10, seven yards short left, on the drive that ended in a 54-yard field goal. The third catch was four yards on third and 14 on the opening drive, 10 short, and Jacksonville punted. The incompletion was third and 10 at the Cincinnati 10 in the second quarter, and Jacksonville kicked a 28-yard field goal.

The split: four of the 23 Jaguars throws, second to Brenton Strange's eight.

Back in June the preview made no call on Meyers: steady production, a crowded room, and a target share under 15 percent early in the season as the sign the room had won. Through three weeks he had 11 of the 76 Jaguars throws with a receiver, 14 percent. After Sunday it is 15 targets of 99, 15 percent, with 13 catches, a hundred 65 yards and two touchdowns. He sits on the line the preview drew.
