Jaguars’ Telvin Smith scoops and scores, taunts Steelers (Video)

The Jacksonville Jaguar defense is showing out in Pittsburgh.

After a mostly dominant first half, they put a cherry on top of things when defensive end Yannick Ngakoue forced a Ben Roethlisberger fumble. It was scooped up by linebacker Telvin Smith, who took the ball 50 yards to the end zone, taunting a Pittsburgh defender at the end of the run.

The play was reviewed and confirmed, giving the Jaguars a 28-7 lead just before halftime. Smith was understandably penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, but it did not nullify the score.

This was the second major turnover committed by Roethlisberger that led to a Jacksonville touchdown. He’s had a horrible first half, but the Jaguar defense has been fantastic.
