The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills, 25-20, in Week 5 behind a Mike Caldwell masterclass.

The Jacksonville Jaguars toppled the Buffalo Bills, 25-20, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday to improve to 3-2 on the season.

Quick recap

Take a freakin’ bow, Mike Caldwell.

Buffalo’s high-scoring offense -- which put up 38, 37, and 48 points in the past three weeks -- was held to 271 net yards and 5.9 yards per play after going 5-for-12 on third downs, despite many of those downs being short distance.

The Bills didn’t get its first first down until the second-to-last play of the first quarter. 13 of Buffalo’s 20 points were scored with less than five minutes remaining in the game. Jacksonville’s defense looks more than legit.

The offense still has some kinks to work through -- Trevor Lawrence was pressured on 22 dropbacks, sacked five times, and lost two fumbles -- but otherwise, Lawrence played as lights-out as the defense did. Travis Etienne set a career-high in yards from scrimmage and had two clutch fourth-quarter scores; Calvin Ridley looks like he’s back; Zay Jones got his revenge game touchdown. This was a very encouraging performance by the Jaguars.

Notable injuries

Walker Little left the game during Jacksonville’s second offensive possession. He was ruled as questionable to return with a knee (MCL?) injury but never went back in. Tyler Shatley took his place at left guard.

Calvin Ridley was evaluated for a concussion after taking a tough hit over the middle of the field, though he was cleared to return. Zay Jones (knee) limped off the field in the third quarter and was ruled as questionable to return, but did not. Cam Robinson (elbow) left in the fourth quarter and went back into the game.

One lingering question

Can the team get one at home? Jacksonville is 0-2 at EverBank Stadium and 3-0 otherwise this year. Another win against the Colts would go a long way heading into the Week 7 bye.
