Former LSU RB Leonard Fournette has been great for the Jacksonville Jaguars this year and has led his team to the playoffs.
After the offense struggled in a 10-3 win over the Buffalo Bills last weekend, Fournette has the Jags playing better on that side of the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon.
As you can see below, Fournette got the scoring started with a leaping touchdown on fourth down in the first quarter:

The Jaguars then went on to score again, this time on a longer touchdown run by Fournette. Early in the second quarter, the Jags lead the Steelers 14-0.
Fournette already has 68 yards to go with his two scores, and he and the Jaguars look eager to earn a trip to New England for the AFC Championship Game next week.
