Forget tanking for Trevor.
The Jacksonville Jaguars looked set at quarterback on Sunday as they pulled off an opening-week stunner in a 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Last year’s rookie sensation Gardner Minshew was nearly perfect as the Jaguars upended a Colts team that entered the game as a touchdown favorite.
Minshew finished 19-of-20 passing for 173 yards and three touchdowns, including a 22-yard toss to Keelan Cole for the go-ahead score with 3:43 remaining.
Good company for Minshew
According to Pro Football Reference, Minshew’s effort is just the 12th since 1970 with with a 90 percent completion rate on 20 or more pass attempts.
