Story line: Jaguars are proof of motivating power of
embarrassment and
desperation. They came in having lost 2 of 3 and also wanted to make amends
for season-opening loss to Titans in which they gave up 282 yards rushing.
Shaky star: Vince Young threw for career-high 257 yards and TD, but he was sacked 4 times and picked off twice — the last with
1:14 left at Jacksonville 1.
Extra point: Maurice Jones-Drew (101 yards, TD) and Fred Taylor (45 yards, TD) helped Jags roll up 166 yards against NFL’s stingiest run defense, which had been giving up 66 yards per game.
Quote: “The way they
embarrassed us in Week 1, there was no way we weren’t going to come out with something to prove.”
— Jaguars LB Mike Peterson.
