REPORT CARD | It's an honor roll kind of game for the Jaguars after blowing out the Jets in the Meadowlands to keep their playoff chase going strong.
On his last carry of the night, Travis Etienne became the first Jaguars running back to hit the 1,000-yard mark since James Robinson in 2020. Between the game conditions, the defense putting the Jets on lockdown and holding a 13-3 halftime lead, the Jaguars didn’t have to attack the Jets’ fourth-ranked pass defense as much downfield.
The Jaguars so dominated the first half that Jets fans showered the home team with boos on six different occasions.The stingy defense had eight pass breakups and didn’t bend until Wilson was benched for Chris Streveler, a former CFL quarterback whose biggest strength is running. The only downer was defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot going down with a right leg injury late in the game as he limped off without putting weight on it.Under tough weather conditions, Riley Patterson connected on four of five field goals from 32, 45, 41 and 37 yards, while also missing a 44-yarder wide left near the end of the first half.
Logan Cooke had only two punts for an unusually low 32.0-yard average, but that number is misleading as one punt from Jets’ territory was downed at the 1-yard line as gunner Chris Claybrooks batted the ball back to keep it from going into the end zone. Pederson’s team avoided the bad starts that have plagued them the previous six weeks, with the Lawrence fumble being the only real hiccup.
