Jaguars Need A Win
It’s only the third week of the season and already the Jacksonville Jaguars are staring down the barrel of the shotgun. After two weeks and two games, the Jaguars have dug themselves into a hole with a 0-2 record. After losing a close one to the Tennessee in week one (17-10), the Jaguars were seemingly in control of their week two game versus the Buffalo Bills. However, the game slipped away before they had realized what happened and the Jaguars were left to recount their mistakes.
After leading the game 16-10 in the closing moments of the fourth quarter, Jacksonville was unable to control the game clock effectively and failed a third-down conversion. A punt and nine Bills offensive plays later, Jacksonville allowed a 74-yard drive for a touchdown. In the end, Buffalo won 20-16.
Now they play divisional rivals Indianapolis (1-1) in perhaps the most important game of their season. They need to perform well or fall to an embarrassing 0-3 record. Head Coach Jack Del Rio acknowledges this fact and stresses the importance of utilizing the one-two punch of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor. Additionally, quarterback David Garrard needs to step up and lead his offense against an ailing Indianapolis Colts defense. The Colts-Jaguars game begins at 4:15 ET this Sunday.
