JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson rushed for a career-high 127 yards on 22 attempts and scored his first NFL touchdown late in the game to help the Jaguars break a nine-game losing streak with a 24-6 win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday.

Robinson started in place of injured Toby Gerhart and bettered his previous career best in the first quarter when he rushed for 62 yards. His most important yards came with just under six minutes left when he went around end from 8 yards out to give Jacksonville a 17-6 lead.

Robinson’s run followed a fumble of a punt by Cleveland’s Jordan Poyer. Jacksonville’s LaRoy Reynolds recovered at the 8-yard line, and Robinson ran it in from there on the next play.

Moments later, the Jaguars cemented their first win since Dec. 5, 2013, when they beat Houston 27-20. A pass by Cleveland quarterback Brian Hoyer bounced off Browns running back Ben Tate and was grabbed by Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith, who returned it 14 yards to the 8-yard line. It took Jacksonville two plays to score, with running back Storm Johnson taking it in from 4 yards out.

The Jaguars did a good job of shutting down the Browns running game. Cleveland came into the game averaging 146.4 yards a game, third best in the NFL. But the Browns only managed to gain 69 yards in 30 attempts Sunday.

The six points were a season-low allowed by Jacksonville and represented the Browns’ lowest point total of the season. Cleveland had scored at least 21 points in every game this year.

Jacksonville turned in its strongest effort on the ground this year as the Jaguars gained 185 yards in 35 attempts. The Jaguars came into the game with an NFL-low average of 69.5 yards per game.

Jaguars rookie quarterback Blake Bortles had his season-low passing total and threw a season-high three interceptions. Bortles finished 17 of 31 for 159 yards. But the Jaguars defense bailed Bortles out, twice stopping the Browns on downs and holding the visitors to a field goal on the third occasion.

Cleveland’s best chance to score in the second half came midway in the fourth quarter after Hoyer hooked up with wide receiver Andrew Hawkins for a 65-yard gain to the Jacksonville 29-yard line. But Tate was dropped for a 4-yard loss, Hoyer was sacked for a minus 8 and Hoyer’s third-down pass fell incomplete.

NOTES: Cleveland only managed four yards rushing in five attempts in the first quarter, all by RB Ben Tate … RB Denard Robinson became the first Jaguars player to gain over 100 rushing yards since Jordan Todman gained 109 last year against Buffalo … Jacksonville had rushed for over 100 yards just once prior to Sunday, that coming against Indianapolis when the Jaguars ran for 105 yards in 20 attempts.
