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.

Peyton Manning threw 4 touchdown passes to lead the Colts over the Jaguars 28-25 for the 2nd time this season. Peyton Manning made 20 of 29 passes for 288 yards and had 4 touchdowns in a match for the 1st time this year. Manning connected twice with Clark and once with both Lawton and Wayne to cap off scoring drives. Reggie Wayne finished with 8 catches for 158 yards, while Dallas Clark had 7 receptions for 60 yards as the Indianapolis Colts improved to 10-2 for the season and remained perfect (4-0) in the AFC’s South Division.

Gray is not annoyed by all the talk about how the Jacksonville Jaguars could sink because of the player’s inexperience. The rarely used quarterback is 1-0 after beating the Buccaneers 24-23 in his 1st National Football League start Sunday. That’s all that matters to Gray and Jacksonville (5-2) as they try to stay afloat while David Garrard is recovering from a sprained left ankle expected to keep Quinn in the lineup for up to 4 weeks. Quinn Gray overthrew a large number of open receivers and only passed for a hundred yards. He had a crucial thirteen-yard completion to Wilford on third-and-six, then finished an 8-play, 53-yard drive with an eight-yard TD throw to Jones to put the Jaguars ahead for good.
