Rayuan Lane wins AFC defensive award after Jaguars rout Colts
The safety scored on a 92-yard interception return after injuries left Jacksonville relying on backups.
Rayuan Lane earned AFC defensive player of the week honors following Jacksonville’s 42-7 victory against the Colts. The Jaguars safety contributed a touchdown on an interception return, along with four tackles, a quarterback hit and three passes defensed.
With the first half nearing its end, Lane intercepted a throw by Daniel Jones after tight end Tyler Warren could not hold onto the ball. His 92-yard return put Jacksonville ahead 28-0.
Jacksonville used reserve safeties against the Colts because of injuries. Lane entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick in 2025. Fellow Jaguars safety Eric Murray will miss the rest of the season with an elbow injury.
