The Bills had two touchdowns called back by penalties in their 18-15 loss to the Jaguars.
Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick hit WR Terrell Owens with a 98-yard touchdown pass, the longest offensive scoring play in team history.
The Bills lost G Eric Wood to a gruesome compound fracture of his tibia and fibula.
Said Bills coach Perry Fewell, “It’s been an emotional week for all of us and this was an emotional
loss for us also. I thought our guys fought their hind
end off. They battled down to the wire. We just didn’t get it done.”
A bobbled snap on an extra point try forced Bills P Brian Moorman to try a pass that fell incomplete.
Jaguars QB David Garrard completed 8 of 9 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Said Garrard after a second straight Jaguars comeback victory, “When it gets down to the last drive, it’s our will against theirs.
We’ve
got to continue to impose it more and more earlier in the game
and not wait
until the last drive.”
Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker had the game-winning touchdown catch and said that the team is showing its fighting nature.
Jaguars CB Tyron Brackenridge was burned by Owens, but recovered to make two key plays in the second half.
DT John Henderson had two sacks to spearhead a livelier Jaguars pass rush.
A win is a win. It wasn’t pretty but I will take it.
i love that fitzpatrick has found his way into buffalo’s franchise record books!
That QB for the Bills is quite scrappy !! He gave my Jaguars hell. Plus letting T.O get that long TD pass was almost a killer. I am glad this team is not laying down and continuing to play hard.
The Jaguars are now the #1 wild Card in the AFC.
They are ahead of the Broncos and Steelers in the standings.
Yeah they got the win, but how many weeks are they going to win in the final 2 minutes. It’s ridiculous. Why would Garrard try that last move to gain that last yard? You a QB not RB. I understand the will fight for more yardage, but when do most fumbles happen? When you fighting and twisting and stretching for more yardage.
Anyway, great win. Now let’s travel out west again and not get obliterated like in Seattle. Now we’re in the playoff hunt with a 5th seed. But please, let’s try not to hunt and shoot ourselves.
“Why would Garrard try that last move to gain that last yard?”
Because he is a professional athlete that has made great runs throughout his career. The ball got knocked out, it happens. Vince Young popped the ball out of his own hands with his knee when he made an extra move last night. Competitive people let their competitiveness get the best of them some time. That was the case on that play with Garrard.
Seeryer:
of course it happens and professinal or not it was 2nd down. I don’t think there would have been a huge uproar if he decided to slide so they could live to see another day and convert on the 3rd. Case and point VY last night. Titan fan would have cheered him the same if he slid. I’m not knocking Garrard. Personally, I love his decsion making. He does go through his reads and runs when need be, perfect in my book.
