The New York Jets staged a dramatic comeback, outlasting the Jacksonville Jaguars 32-25 on Sunday at EverBank Stadium. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams led the charge, with Adams scoring two touchdowns and totaling 198 yards. Meanwhile, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. made significant contributions for the Jaguars, catching two touchdowns from Mac Jones. The Jets’ victory snapped a four-game losing streak, while the Jaguars missed an opportunity to win back-to-back games for the first time since late November. With the season winding down, both teams will look to finish strong in their next three weeks.
The game was marked by several pivotal plays, including Adams’ 71-yard touchdown catch and Thomas Jr.’s 19-yard crossing pattern score. However, it was Rodgers who ultimately proved to be the difference-maker, completing 16 of 30 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns. For the Jaguars, Jones completed 31 of 46 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns, but struggled with interceptions.
The Jets’ win improved their record to 4-10, while the Jaguars fell to 3-11. Despite the loss, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson remained optimistic, praising his team’s spirit and resilience. “We’ll figure it out,” he said. “I loved the fight out of the guys, and all we can do is continue to fight for these next three weeks.”
As the season enters its final stretch, both teams will need to find ways to overcome adversity and stay focused on their goals. With the Jets’ victory, they have a chance to turn things around and make some noise in the AFC playoff hunt.
