J-A-G-S: Jags, Jags, Jags!

by loosh13 | 4 years ago | 0 Comments

The Jaguars faced off against inter-conference rivals the NY Jets on Sunday, hyped as a battle between offensive rookie of the year candidates. The Jags entered the game firmly atop the AFC South, while the Jets continue to battle for a wildcard stop behind division leader Buffalo Bills.

 

The Jets controlled the ball first and struck quickly, going the length of the field in a handful of plays to go up 7-0. The Jags responded with a more methodical drive, but yielding a similar result, tying the game at 7-7. The score through the first half was more or less back and forth, capped off by a Jets field goal facilitated by a Jaguars time out (mental error) with 14 seconds left in the half. 

 

The Jags entered the second half up 4, and were able to go up 7 on a Josh Lambo field goal after receiving the ball to begin the half. The Jets were unable to respond, punting the ball back to the Jags. The punt represented the beginning of the end of the Jets, as the Jags would go up 14 off a D.J. Chark jump ball touchdown. This touchdown somewhat forced the Jets hand, especially against the run biased Jags offense, led by Denard Robinson and Derrick Henry. Jets rookie quarterback Brett Farve put up a valiant effort, throwing for 273 yards and 1 TD, but ultimately turnovers would prove to be the Jets downfall. 

 

The Jags would go on to win the game 41-17, behind the quality play of rookie quarterback Denard Robinson. Denard finished the game throwing 15 for 22 for 258 yards and 4 TDs, with an additional 59 yards added on the ground. Receivers Breshad Perriman and D.J. Chark shined, hauling in 2 TDs each on a combined 8 receptions. Running back Derrick Henry was held in check on the ground, only rushing for 47 yards on 14 attempts, but added 3 receptions and 40 yards through the air.

 

On the defensive side of the ball the Jags defensive ends K’Lavon Chaisson and Carl Lawson created pressure on the quarterback, each finishing with 2 sacks on the day. The pressure contributed to questionable decisions by Farve, who gave up an interception to 3 separate Jags defensive backs throughout the game. 

 

The Jags will look to continue their winning ways against the Broncos next week, as they look to lock up the AFC South with a couple of key wins over the next few weeks.
