The Jaguars and Jets have both lost several close games in 2024. But, as Sunday’s game entered the fourth quarter with New York up by one point, something had to give.
In a game that meant very little for the standings, the Jets found a fourth-quarter way to win as Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers rolled back the clock. Adams ended up with 198 yards and two touchdowns and set up Breece Hall’s game-winning touchdown run, going ahead 32-25 with 1:05 remaining on another long catch and run.
The teams were tied at 7-7 after Mac Jones threw a touchdown pass to rookie Brian Thomas, but the Jets hit back on Rodgers’ 22-yard strike to Garrett Wilson.
Three Cam Little field goals had enabled the Jaguars to push out to a 16-10 lead by the midpoint of the third quarter, but the Jets captured a 17-16 lead on a Rodgers pass to Adams.
Jacksonville recaptured the lead when Thomas beat Kendall Sheffield for the go-ahead 19-yard touchdown to make it 22-17 with 13:37 remaining.
New York then went ahead 25-22 with 3:24 remaining as Rodgers hit Adams on a 71-yard deep ball for another score and then found him again for the two-point conversion, but Jacksonville drove down into range for Little to tie it with just under two minutes remaining.
Here are the key takeaways…
The Jaguars wore out the Jets in the first half with long drives, limiting New York to just 17 offensive snaps. Jones, who was seeking his sixth win in six starts against the Jets, had an efficient first half in a game plan that was heavy on screens and dump-off passes.
Safety Jalen Mills’ first-quarter interception finally ended a long string of games without one for the Jets. Mills became the first person other than Brandin Echols to intercept a pass for the Jets this year. The last one was back in week five against the Vikings, which means that this was the first interception since Jeff Ulbrich took over as head coach. It didn’t give the Jets the kind of momentum shifting impact play they’ve been craving though…
