What happened: Brian Thomas Jr. opened the scoring in Jacksonville, hauling in a touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to cap a 98-yard opening drive. The score marked Lawrence's 15th touchdown pass of the season.

Why it matters: The touchdown arrived amid active trade speculation surrounding the 2024 first-round selection ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. Thomas remains on the trade radar as reports indicate Jacksonville is expected to move him after his offensive role dwindled earlier this season. An early score highlights the downfield capability that made him the 23rd overall draft pick.

By the numbers: In 2026, Thomas recorded 9 catches for 105 yards and 1 touchdown prior to Week 8. Last season (2025), he caught 48 passes for 707 yards and 2 touchdowns in 14 games with the Jaguars.

What to watch: Jacksonville and potential trade suitors will monitor Thomas' workload through Sunday as the league deadline approaches on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
