Delivering the most electric atmosphere for a Jaguars game for a long, long time, Jags fans win their own recognition on the Up-Down Drill.
While the Jaguars’ offense had its second-lowest yardage total of the season and didn’t put on a great show, Trevor Lawrence wasn’t too despondent.
They had a season-low 19 rushing yards, also the fewest in franchise history when winning the game. Travis Etienne, who had 1,108 yards rushing entering the contest, had just seven carries for 17 yards.Cornerback Rayshawn Jenkins, who secured a 40-34 overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys with a 52-yard interception off Dak Prescott for a touchdown, played hero in a different way this time.
By winning the AFC South, further enhancing a remarkable franchise turnaround, the Jaguars will undoubtedly line themselves up for more prime time games in 2023 beyond the obligatory “Thursday Night Football” telecast and likely get some exposure on Sunday night and Monday night. Lawrence pitched the ball too high for Jamal Agnew, and the ensuing fumble was recovered by Titans’ outside linebacker Rashad Weaver.Up: Thriving in tough situations
This time, they trailed 16-10 entering the fourth quarter. But Mike Caldwell’s defense got two turnovers and the Jaguars converted them into a field goal and TD to win the AFC South division title and secured a home playoff game in next week’s wild-card round.Two of the Jaguars’ most reliable special team players, returner Agnew and punter Logan Cooke, both had performances worthy of a game MVP.
The Jaguars and other clubs outlined the number 3 on each 30-yard line in Bills' colors, either blue or red. The Jaguars chose red because they had the paint scheme that more closely resembled one of the Buffalo colors.With fans at TIAA Bank Field already stoked for a high-stakes game, performer Paul Wane only made things better with a rousing rendition of the national anthem.
