PublishedDETROIT — The Detroit Lions planned to play backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for just a few series, giving the recently signed veteran a chance to get in the flow of game speed.The Jaguars sacked Bridgewater on his first snap, held him to a total of 2 yards on his first three possessions and forced a fumble to compel coach Dan Campbell to keep him on the field deep into the second quarter.
“I like the way C.J. operates, the way he thinks,” Pederson said. “He's tough. You saw some of the athleticism.” D'Ernest Johnson restored the Jaguars' cushion with a 1-yard touchdown run late in the third and helped them pull away with a 15-yard run that put them ahead 25-7 early in the fourth.Elijah Cooks, an undrafted rookie, improved his chances of earning a job as a Jaguars reserve receiver by closing the third quarter with a short slant he turned into a 47-yard gain and also making a 22-yard catch.
