Makai Lemon had his busiest game of the season against the Jaguars: 7 targets, 5 catches, 43 yards, +0.1 expected points added (EPA) on his targets. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The snap that defined it went incomplete. Up 14-10 with 3:51 left in the third quarter, Philadelphia went for it on fourth and 3 at the Jacksonville 43, and Jalen Hurts' short throw to the right for Lemon fell incomplete with Travis Hunter on the play: -2.2 EPA and -7.8 points of win probability. On the next possession he converted third and 10 from the Philadelphia 26 with an 18-yard catch, +2.5 EPA, his best snap.
A third-and-10 throw to him early in the fourth quarter fell incomplete. His last catch, 7 yards, put the ball at the Jacksonville 27 with 21 seconds left, down 16-14.
