The Jacksonville Jaguars won their first game of the season over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, thanks in part to several playmakers on offense and defense.
Rookie linebacker Telvin Smith had four tackles, a sack that forced a fumble, an interception, and another batted pass which was a near pick. His performance earned him a nomination for Pepsi Rookie of the Week honors alongside Buffalo Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins, St. Louis Rams running back Tre Mason, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, and Washington cornerback Bashaud Breeman.
