Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew produces record-setting performance for an NFL opening weekend

Only one quarterback in the history of the NFL has posted a stat line of at least a 95 percent completion rate and three touchdowns in a kickoff weekend. His name is Gardner Minshew II.

First QB in NFL history to throw for at least 3 TDs and complete at least 95.0% of his passes on Kickoff Weekend?
