The Jaguars won the opening coin toss and for the second week in a row deferred possession to the second half. And like last week, when Buffalo marched downfield and scored, so did the Indianapolis Colts. Marvin Harrison was the lucky recipient and scored on a 4 yard touchdown. On the Jaguars first possesion they went 3 and out and looked bad in doing so. Both teams defensives held on their next possession and at the end of the first quarter the Jaguars had a good drive going that carried over into the next quarter, in which they scored on a 26 yard field goal.
On the Jaguars next possesion they had a nice drive with Maurice Jones Drew carving up the Colts defense. But the drive stalled on a failed 4 and 2 play by Fred Taylor. The Colts returned the favor until Rashean Mathis made an interception which resulted in a 61 yard touchdown for the Jags. On the Colts next possession they marched 74 yards and scored on a 3 yard Joseph Addai touchdown. The Jaguars opened the third quarter with a long drive which ended with an interception by Kelvin Hayden. With good field position the Colts drove down field and with Joseph Addai running the rock until Peyton Manning threw an interception to Jaguars defensive back Brian Williams.
The Jaguars took advantage of this turnover by driving down field on a big rushing play by Fred Taylor and set up a 6 yard touch down run by Maurice Jones Drew. The Jaguars defense holds the Colts on thier next possesion and the 3rd quarter ends Jaguars 17 Colts 14.
The 4th quarter the Jaguars have thier best drive of the game(and so far this season) as they burn up 12 minutes off the clock, but they only score a 21yard Josh Scobee field goal left the door open for Payton Manning to march down the field in less than 2 minutes to score on a 3 yard td run by Joseph Addai.
The stage is now set for the ultimate fantastic finish. The Jaguars now have just 60 seconds to march down to the Colts 35 yard line - close enough for Josh Scobee to kick the game winning 51 yard field goal. Final score - Jaguars 23 Colts 21
“all & all it was a good game!”
