Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley in the first quarter and defensive back Darius Williams scored a 61-yard pick-six touchdown to lead Jacksonville to a 23-7 win over the Atlanta Falcons in London Sunday.
Brandon McManus kicked three field goals in the victory for the Jaguars, who will stay in London, and await the Buffalo Bills next week at Tottenham Stadium next Sunday.
“We’re going to have a day or so to explore this week. It’ll be fun to get out in the city, and get prepared for Buffalo,” Lawrence said postgame after the Jaguars improved to 2-2.
Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson led all players with 137 total yards, but the Jaguars intercepted Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder twice on back-to-back plays in the second quarter, and gave the first-year starter fits during the game. The Falcons (2-2) host the Houston Texans next Sunday.

Here's how the rest of the game unfolded:
The Falcons were at their 6-yard line, hoping to make a play to get them back into this game late in the fourth quarter.
Instead, Falcons receiver Drake London was pushed out of the end zone on fourth-and-3, preventing his second touchdown of the game.

The Falcons are going viral for this sideline interaction during the game.
Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder tried to greet receiver Mack Hollins on the bench, shortly after missing him for a deep pass.
And Hollins did not appear too happy to see Ridder at the moment. — Safid Deen
How cool is that? Drake London has scored in London.
London, the Falcons receiver, scored on a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Desmond Ridder early in the third quarter to help Atlanta get back into this game.
It was a nice response from the Falcons, who were down 17-0 at halftime.
Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson got the drive going with a 38-yard run on the second play of scrimmage to start the second half. Robinson is up to 86 total yards. — Safid Deen
Trevor Lawrence threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley in the first quarter, and defensive back Darius Williams scored a 61-yard pick-six touchdown to give the Jaguars a 17-0 lead on the Falcons at halftime.
Lawrence is 13 of 28 for 128 yards, and his leading receiver is Christian Kirk, who has six catches for 71 yards.
Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder, on the other hand, is struggling. He threw his two interceptions on consecutive plays. Luckily, the Falcons defense sacked Lawrence to end two drives before halftime that could’ve increased Jacksonville’s lead.
Falcons’ rookie running back Bijan Robinson leads Atlanta with four catches for 26 yards, and seven carries on 18 yards.
Also, the Toy Story broadcast is really good. Check it out. — Safid Deen
Jaguars defensive back Darius Williams jumped the route in front of Falcons receiver Drake London to intercept quarterback Desmond Ridder, and return it 61 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
One play later, Ridder was intercepted again by Jaguars safety Andre Cisco, but the Jaguars couldn't cash in after being stuffed on fourth down.
The Falcons’ struggles on offense continue in this London game. They have just 53 yards, compared to the Jaguars’ 155 already in this game. — Safid Deen
Chaos has erupted inside Andy’s room for ESPN’s alternate broadcast of the London game, but an MVP of the game has already emerged.
All the characters of the hit animated "Toy Story" movie series are making appearances for the game, but Slinky Dog has become the workhorse of the broadcast because the pup is serving as the chain gang. When either team gets a first down, Slinky Dog can be seen with the back of its body serving as the line of scrimmage, and its head serving as the first down marker.
People couldn’t help but give Slinky Dog props for becoming the early highlight of the wild broadcast.
"Slinky Dog as the chains goes insanely hard," one social media user said. "Slinky dog performing an absolute masterclass as the chains today. Lights are bright and he’s DIALED," another said. — Jordan Mendoza
Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen has already notched two sacks against the Falcons, and it's not even halftime. Allen and the Jacksonville defense has only permitted one first down and 11 total yards as the Jaguars now lead 10-0 after a 56-yard field goal by Brandon McManus. — Casey Moore
Calvin Ridley saw the Falcons secondary break down. He raised his hand, calling for the ball. And Trevor Lawrence delivered.
Lawrence’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Ridley gave Jacksonville a 7-0 lead with 5:44 left in the first quarter. How did it look on the "Toy Story Funday Football" broadcast?
It was Ridley’s first catch of the day against his former team, which traded him to the Jaguars while he was suspended for gambling last year. — Safid Deen
The first of five games in the NFL's International Series has started out rather slowly.
The Jaguars picked up one first down before being forced to punt during their first possession. The Falcons, meanwhile, went three-and-out.
Jacksonville is on the move during its second possession, however. Trevor Lawrence's 22-yard scramble on a second-and-7 has the Jaguars in Falcons territory. — Casey Moore

The NFL, through its competition committee, assesses the league's playing rules each offseason and collects feedback from players, coaches and executives for possible changes.
The league classifies adjustments in two ways: actual changes to the rulebook and points of clarification, which essentially highlight emphases the NFL wants its officials to prioritize during games. Players and coaches, therefore, must tweak the way they play and coach in order to comply with the adjustments. For football fans, there's an adjustment, too, in understanding the strategy behind certain decisions.
Read Lorenzo Reyes’ breakdown of the league’s adopted changes here.
The NFL's top 15 players in average annual salary are all quarterbacks, according to OverTheCap.com. As Joe Burrow proved in his new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, teams place a huge priority on having a top-flight QB under center. Burrow's five-year, $275 million contract extension made him the league's highest paid player at a staggering average annual value of $55 million. San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league after signing a five-year, $170 million extension.
Here’s the complete list of the league’s highest-paid players.
