Jags get late TD, hold off Titans 19-13

But both teams would get another of those field goals before the half as it closed with a total of 6-6.

“Give credit to them”, said Bradley, speaking of the Titans defense. Even if they run the table, the Browns won’t post a winning season for the 15th time in 17 seasons dating back to 1999, their return to the league as an expansion franchise. Denard Robinson had five runs from the 12 or closer and couldn’t score.

This was only the Jaguars’ second game in Jacksonville since September 20, and it kicks off a string of four of five games at home. “They pay me to make plays like that and get interceptions”. They’ll need to secure their second road win of the season.

As expected, Jaguars Head Coach Gus Bradley praised the play following the game. “What I liked about it was how aggressive he was”.

However, I feel as though Bradley is starting to leave his imprint on this team and his players have taken to the identity of their coach. They made really good decisions at a critical times. And the final play, which should have been a throw into the end zone, was supposed to go to Rico Richardson, a recent practice squad call-up who doesn’t have a catch in six career games.

The Jaguars defensive line has had trouble closing on sacks this season. On Thursday, that wasn’t much of a problem. Andre Branch sacked Mariota to end the game.

“It’s a good unit, we hold ourselves to a high standard”, said Davis. “We were basically trying to get everybody out in the end zone”.

DT Sen’Derrick Marks (torn triceps) was placed on reserve/injured by the Jaguars Wednesday (Nov. 18). But on the final play, Jacksonville sacked him for the fourth time. Again, it sounds like I am repeating myself, but it feels like it. Greene had shown promise in the first two games and that continued on Thursday in his first game back. The Jaguars managed only a field goal on a drive that looked for all the world, would end in a touchdown.

The Titans got the ball next and had their best drive of the game. They can beat Tennessee away.

Thursday night’s game was their fourth loss by a touchdown or less this season.

House has now forced three turnovers in the last two games, after picking off two passes in Sunday’s win at Baltimore. Still, his prowess to blitz has changed the way opposing teams are protecting their quarterbacks. “We work on that every day”.

But where he needs the most improvement is his pocket awareness and agility.

“We’ve just been continually growing”, said Cyprien.

“… We believe in each other and the belief runs from the first quarter to the fourth”. Start fast and finish faster – that’s what we want to build on.

“When we’re efficient and playing with the effort that we’re playing with, we are a good football team. I think that you watch how teams are doing, especially in our division”. Blake Bortles hooked up with TE Julius Thomas for a 5-yard TD pass. Field goals ruled the opening half, with Tennessee’s Ryan Succop nailing a 47-yarder for the lone score of the first quarter. At the Jets, a penalty, a sack and then a fumble by Bortles doomed a goal-to-go situation.

The Stars: We’re not shy about giving accolades to kickers in this spot, and Myers definitely earned it. He nailed all four of his field goals and his extra point. Succop missed wide left.

But the offense would stay mild again, as they went with three straight runs to T.J. He has done a better job limiting the mistakes over the last few weeks but has in turn lowered his ceiling in the process.
