Titans fall to the Jaguars 19-13
The Jaguars’ red-zone struggles finally ended when Thomas caught his score.
One thing the Jaguars have going for them is that opposing teams self-destructed against them twice in five days.
Mariota ripped off a 23-yard touchdown run the third quarter to give Tennessee a 13-9 lead.
” … I have to do a better job of giving those guys a shot”.
Mike Mularkey said he doesn’t believe the Titans’ poor execution in the fourth quarter is the result of an overarching mentality, the thought that they’ll find a way to lose. “We were basically trying to get everybody out in the end zone”.
The Jaguars, after four consecutive losses – including three consecutive on the road – have won three of their last four games to move to 4-6.
Injuries: Bortles was treated for dehydration on the sidelines briefly during the game, but he would end up being fine. “We felt like he ran the ball pretty effectively, but we’ll just continue to look at that”.
Tennessee had one last chance.
Blake Bortles threw a pick six against Buffalo and that completed the Bills’ comeback from a 27-3 deficit and gave them a 31-27 lead with 5:21 to play.
After Mariota (22-for-35 passing, 231 yards, 29 rushing yards) threw behind a wide-open Dorial Green-Beckham, the Titans settled for a 49-yard Succop field goal to take a 6-3 lead with 10:58 remaining in the first half. His top target once again was tight end Delanie Walker, who finished with 109 yards on eight receptions.
For the second week in a row, the Jacksonville Jaguars outcome wasn’t decided until the last play of the game. The win totals should go up from here.
The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans came into Week 11 with four wins, and the Jacksonville Jaguars got their fourth Thursday night with a 19-13 win over the Tennessee Titans.
He counterpointed everybody who assumed that this was a game between a pair of hopeless rivals only in name and by proximity (AFC South rivals, or whatever) by pointing out that at a few point in the not-so-distant future, this game could mean something.
Jacksonville Jaguars leave it late to come from behind and beat AFC South bottom side Tennessee Titans. They had another drive end at the 23 with a Blake Bortles interception.
“Anytime that resiliency pays off and get a win, I think it adds to the mindset”. He had three catches for 19 yards but no scores. Yes, Jason Garrett’s team owns a pair of divisional wins but have also lost to the Giants and Eagles this year and are in the midst of a seven-game skid. “It was second-and-two and we just felt like we could get it on three downs by running the ball”. “Any time that resiliency pays off and you get a win, I think it adds to the mindset, and it helps the mindset”. Hunter has been placed in IR for the season while Wright has a knee injury and ruled out of the game on Wednesday. Greene had shown promise in the first two games and that continued on Thursday in his first game back.
Rookie wide receiver Rashad Greene made his presence felt in his return to the Jaguars lineup.
“We don’t have any quitters”, Jaguars cornerback Aaron Colvin said. Allen Robinson did his part for the offense Thursday, as well. But on the first play of the ensuing drive, Jacksonville again turned the tables.
An organization of mediocre coaches and a hand full of very mediocre players will continue to keep this rudderless ship off course until there is major change. “That’s the mindset that I have and that our whole receiving corps has”, Robinson said.
