Defense becomes an issue for the Jaguars
The bad snap by center Stefen Wisniewski was deplorable.
“I saw the ball going over Bortles’ head and I saw (David) Bass taking off, so I was trying to race to get to the ball before he got there”, Woodyard said. The Titans had lost 11 in a row at home dating back to last season before edging the Jaguars on Sunday. Steve McNair previously recorded the longest run in franchise history by a quarterback with a 71-yard attempt in 1998 (Nov. 8 at Tampa Bay). It’s pretty good. I think compared to other people that have been here in their career if he continues that that would be a good number, but it’s the extra points.
Jags kicker Jason Myers also missed another extra point. How many easy kicks does he get to miss?
Travis Benjamin – The Browns receiver suffered a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the game against Cincinnati.
They were becoming the National Football League version of Vanderbilt, playing close and having chances to win games, but incapable of closing the deals.
Myers has to be frustrated and so does the organization.
The Jets held the No. 6 overall pick in the 2015 draft, which they used to take former USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams. His 87-yard TD run was behind only to Terrelle Pryor’s 93-yard run in 2013 for Oakland against Pittsburgh and Colin Kaepernick’s 90-yarder for San Francisco against San Diego in 2014. Fitzpatrick has seven touchdown passes in his last three games. Moreover, at the end of regulation the Titans forced a turnover on downs and ran out the final minutes of the game clock to seal the 42-39 victory.
With three touchdown passes in the game, Mariota completed his fourth such game doing so this season, tying Peyton Manning for the most as a rookie.
“Marcus Mariota showed off his rushing skills with an 87-yard scramble on Sunday”.
Robinson caught his second TD pass from Bortles from 8 yards out, narrowing the deficit to 28-25 with 11:52 left as Jacksonville went 80 yards in six plays.
Meanwhile, the Jets won the latest version of the battle of New York, clipping the Giants, 23-20, in overtime at the MetLife Stadium last Sunday, as per the New York Daily News.
WHAT WAS HE THINKING – Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles twice crossed the line of scrimmage in the red zone while attempting a pass. The penalty resulted in loss of down and two field goals instead of possible touchdowns.
Allen Robinson, WR, Jacksonville – Bortles’ favourite target caught 10 passes (15 targets) for 153 yards and three touchdowns at Tennessee.
It was a 3rd and 7 play that had the Jaguars stopped the Titans would have likely given the Tennessee their 10th loss. Hoyer threw four consecutive incompletions on the Texans’ drive after Clay’s touchdown. The Titans offense was extremely effective on Sunday. This put unneeded pressure on the offense, which had carried the team all day, and pressed them to score more points. Rookie Dorial Green-Beckham had a big day as well, with 5 catches and 120 yards. His shoulder ailment kept him out of action for the entire second half. Had Andrews stayed on Mariota’s left and helped against Posluszny, Mariota wouldn’t have had anywhere to go and Odrick would have ended up with the sack.
