Jaguars Linebacker Devin Lloyd Gets First Career Interception In Win

SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Utes and current Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd recorded his first career interception in a win over the Indianapolis Colts.

The Jaguars hosted the Colts at TIAA Bank Field on Sunday, September 18.

With 4:33 left in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars defensive front put pressure on Colts quarterback Matt Ryan before deflecting a pass.

The ball sailed across the middle of the field and into the arms of Lloyd. The linebacker returned the ball 13 yards.
