          NEW ORLEANS -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence answered the question about whether his left knee would be an issue pretty quickly Thursday night.

          He led the Jaguars on a 10-play touchdown drive to open up their Week 7 matchup with the New Orleans Saints, which was capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Travis Etienne Jr.

          Lawrence completed 5 of 6 passes for 60 yards, including a shovel pass to Jamal Agnew that went for 14 yards to the New Orleans 2-yard line. Etienne scored on the next play with 9:44 left in the quarter, making him the first running back to score a touchdown against the Saints this season. He was able to find the end zone again with a 17-yard run at the beginning of the second quarter.
