SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Parker Washington had Jacksonville’s first punt return touchdown in eight seasons and the Jaguars’ opportunistic defense delivered four more takeaways in a 26-21 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

They turned those into 17 points against the 49ers (3-1), highlighted by Travis Etienne’s 48-yard run one play after Dennis Gardeck forced a fumble by Luke Farrell in the second quarter.

Trevor Lawrence then threw a 4-yard TD pass to Hunter Long following
