It took an extra quarter, but Jake Browning got the job done in Jacksonville on Sunday night.
Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals, thanks to a game-winning field goal late in overtime, got past the Jaguars 34-31 at EverBank Stadium in what was the first "Monday Night Football" game in Jacksonville in a dozen years.
The Bengals got a stop on the Jaguars' opening drive of overtime, and then Evan McPherson hit a game-winning 48-yard field goal to seal the 3-point win.
The two teams were in a shootout the entire night, trading off touchdowns consistently until things were tied up 28-28 in the fourth quarter. That, however, is when the Jaguars lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Lawrence went down late in the fourth quarter with what looked to be a brutal ankle injury. He had to be helped off the field, and was seen slamming his helmet to the turf before taking a very slow walk to the locker room.

The Jaguars then had to turn to Beathard, the former Iowa quarterback, to end the game. While they were down by three, Beathard then successfully led the Jaguars down 53 yards for a game-tying field goal with less than 30 seconds left, which forced the extra period and eventually led to the Jaguars' win.
Lawrence went 22-of-29 for 258 yards and threw two touchdowns before he went down. Beathard went 9-of-10 for 63 yards in his absence. Travis Etienne had 45 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, and Evan Engram had 82 yards and a touchdown on nine catches.
Browning went 32-of-37 for 354 yards in the win. He threw two touchdowns, too, and went an incredible 26-of-30 in regulation, though two of those incompletions were drops. Joe Mixon had 68 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, and Ja'Marr Chase had 149 yards and a touchdown on 11 catches.

It's been a long time since C.J. Beathard's mounted a game-winning drive.
C.J. Beathard in for Trevor Lawrence and a chance for his 1st NFL game-winning drive.
The last time Beathard led a team to a come-from-behind win in the 4th quarter, he was at Iowa in 2016 when the Hawkeyes stunned then-No. 2 Michigan 14-13 on Nov. 12. 2016.
Trevor Lawrence is moving so slowly down the tunnel toward the locker room. His night is almost certainly done. Looks like C.J. Beathard will be coming in next for the Jags.
Trevor Lawrence is headed to the locker room after he went down hard with a leg injury. That did not look good.

The Bengals are keeping pace without Joe Burrow. They mount another impressive scoring drive, this time marching 75 yards on 12 plays. Joe Mixon caps it with a two-yard touchdown run, and the game's tied at 14-14 with 1:04 left in the half. This is unexpected.
Evan Engram caps a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown from Trevor Lawrence, his first of the year. Jaguars are back on top, 14-7 midway through the second quarter.

Jaguars go for it on fourth-and-one in the red zone. Get it on a Trevor Lawrence sneak. Follow it up with a four-yard touchdown run by Travis Etienne. 7-0 Jags midway through the first.
Christian Kirk appears to be hurt. The Jags receiver broke wide open for a 26-yard catch on Jacksonville's first play from scrimmage. He wasn't touched on the play and rolled on the ground in pain after securing the catch.

Bengals rolled the dice on fourth-and-three from Jacksonville's 44. Josh Allen got to Jake Browning for his 13th sack of the season.
Good gamble by a Bengals team with little to lose. Poor execution. Jaguars take over at midfield.

LONDON—The Conservatives, the world’s winningest political party, were booted out of power in dramatic style on Thursday after 14 years of chaotic and divisive rule.The Labour Party had secured a landslide victory, ending an era of Conservative rule over Britain that stretches back to 2010; the year that the iPad and Instagram were launched and Lady Gaga wore that meat dress to the MTV music awards.In that time, the Conservatives have cycled through five leaders, each of them dragging the party
Rishi Sunak, 44, finds himself in a bind. After a highly successful career in the City of London, followed by a brief but eventful spell in politics, he has suffered a serious demotion and been evicted from his home.
Corazon Dandan died after being pushed into an oncoming BART train at San Francisco’s Powell Street Station at around 11 p.m on Monday night. The suspect, 49-year-old Trevor Belmont, also known as Hoak Taing, was arrested at the scene and booked into the San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of homicide and elder abuse. Dandan, who was Filipino American, was a dedicated telephone operator at the Westin St. Francis and other hotels.
The defeat of the Conservative Party in the UK election ends Rishi Sunak’s two-year premiership. Does it also sour the story of Britain’s first Asian prime minister, asks Sunder Katwala.
Russian aggression in Ukraine poses a threat to world peace and stability. China provides material support for Russia’s actions. All this is entirely clear. In Beijing, immediately after a meeting with Xi Jinping in April this year, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that “Russia would struggle to sustain its assault on Ukraine without China’s support”. This included selling huge quantities of machine tools and micro-electronics that would be used in the Russian defence industry.
China recently became the first country to ever return samples taken from the far side of the Moon, a historic mission that could have profound implications on our understanding of its evolution and ability to host human life. But thanks to a law called the Wolf Amendment, which was enacted by the US government in […]

Lebanon's Hezbollah launched more than 200 rockets and drones at Israeli army positions on Thursday, escalating tensions between the two adversaries amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.After months of deadlocked Gaza ceasefire efforts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed to send a delegation for talks aimed at securing the release of hostages seized in Hamas's October 7 attack that sparked the war.The announcement, which came a day after Hamas said it had "ideas" on halting the nearly nine-month conflict, followed a phone call between Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden."The leaders discussed the recent response received from Hamas" and "the President welcomed the Prime Minister's decision to authorise his negotiators to engage with US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators in an effort to close out the deal," the White House said.Israel launched a military offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7, in response to an unprecedented attack by the Palestinian Islamist militant group on its territory.The next day Hezbollah, in support of its ally Hamas, opened a front on Israel's northern border with Lebanon, and the two sides have since exchanged near-daily cross-border fire.Hezbollah said it fired more than 200 rockets and "explosive drones" at army positions in northern Israel and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed one of the Iran-backed group's commanders.Air raid sirens blared across northern Israel in the morning, and an AFP correspondent witnessed rockets crossing the frontier that were mostly intercepted by Israeli air defences but sparked wildfires.A military source said later a soldier was killed by a rocket fired into northern Israel.- Fighting in Gaza City -The Gaza war broke out after Hamas's October 7 attack on southern Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,195 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.The militants also seized 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza including 42 the army says are dead.In response, Netanyahu vowed to "crush" Hamas and Israel's military launched an offensive that has killed at least 38,011 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory's health ministry.Gaza's civil defence agency said seven people were killed Thursday in Israeli strikes, including five in a school in Gaza City, in the north of the besieged territory.Fighting raged in the city's Shujaiya neighbourhood and in Rafah, on the southern border with Egypt, where an Israeli evacuation order raised fears of a major new offensive.Since the order was issued on Monday, tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled eastern areas of Rafah and nearby Khan Yunis.The United Nations says 1.9 million people are thought to be displaced in Gaza, and that around nine in every 10 people in the territory have been uprooted at least once since the war broke out."Behind these numbers, there are people... that have fears and grievances. And they had probably dreams and hopes; the less and less, I fear today, unfortunately," said Andrea De Domenico, head of the UN humanitarian office in the Palestinian territories."People who in the last nine months have been moved around like pawns in a board game."- Evacuation order -The United Nations says up to 250,000 people were affected by Israel's order to evacuate 117 square kilometres (45 square miles) -- equivalent to one-third of Gaza's territory.The Israel-Hezbollah border clashes have killed at least 496 people in Lebanon, most of them fighters but also including 95 civilians, according to an AFP tally.Israeli authorities say at least 16 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed on their side of the UN-patrolled border.The Gaza war at the heart of the violence has meanwhile raged on, with gun battles, air strikes and shelling rocking Gaza City for an eight straight day.Israeli troops "destroyed tunnel routes in the area and eliminated dozens of terrorists in close-quarters combat with tank fire, and in aerial strikes," the military said.- 'Maelstrom of human misery' -Israel has faced an international outcry over the soaring civilian death toll, punishing siege and mass destruction in Gaza.The UN humanitarian coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, this week called for an end to the "maelstrom of human misery".Netanyahu has insisted Israel will destroy Hamas and bring home the remaining hostages.Biden, under growing domestic pressure over Washington's support for Israel, in late May outlined a roadmap for a six-week truce and exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners.There has been little progress since, but Hamas said Wednesday it was communicating with officials in Qatar and Egypt as well as Turkey with an eye to ending the conflict.Hamas said its Qatar-based political chief Ismail Haniyeh had "made contact with the mediator brothers in Qatar and Egypt about the ideas that the movement is discussing with them with the aim of reaching an agreement".Netanyahu's office said Wednesday that "Israel is evaluating the (Hamas) remarks and will convey its reply to the mediators".The main stumbling block so far has been Hamas's demand for a permanent end to the fighting, which Netanyahu and his far-right coalition partners strongly reject.burs-dv/kir
