Watch: Jaguars interception negated by roughing the passer call

The Jacksonville Jaguars appeared to finally end their lengthy streak of not recording a takeaway, but a Devin Lloyd interception was negated by a penalty.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw into traffic into the middle of the field, but officials flagged linebacker Foye Oluokun for making helmet-to-helmet contact with Jones on a blitz up the middle.

Untimely penalties on the Jaguars defense have proven costly in the past, including a Josh Allen offsides penalty earlier against the Giants that extended a drive that should’ve reached a fourth down on the play.

Fortunately for Jacksonville, the roughing call on Oluokun didn’t help the Giants much. After a Saquon Barkley put the ball just a few yards from the goal line, Barkley was stuffed on second down and the Giants threw back-to-back incomplete passes on third and fourth down plays.

Lloyd had two interceptions earlier in the season, but the Jaguars haven’t forced a turnover since recording a pick-six early in the Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
