JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars needed a big play to get some momentum against the Indianapolis Colts. Rookie Brian Thomas Jr. delivered with the second-longest receiving touchdown in Jaguars history, according to ESPN Research.

On first-and-10 from the Jaguars' 15-yard line, Thomas sprinted by safety Nick Cross. Trevor Lawrence, who had misfired on a potential deep touchdown pass to Thomas last week, hit him in stride down the right sideline.

At that point it was a foot race and Thomas, who ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the combine, wasn't getting caught for all 85 yards.
