Social Media Reacts to Jaguars' Failed Comeback Bid

The Jacksonville Jaguars played one of their best games of the season against the New York Jets. However, after beating the Tennessee Titans last week, the Jaguars could not pull off another victory, which would have been the first time they won consecutive games this season.

The Jaguars almost secured another victory and fought until the end, but talent won. Jacksonville started the game with a surprising first-quarter touchdown. It was more points than they had scored in the last three weeks combined, and it was the first time they had scored a touchdown in the first quarter in four weeks.

The Jaguars' opening 13-play, 70-yard drive set the tone for how the rest of the game would go for both teams. The Jaguars played a solid game on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Mac Jones played well, throwing for over 200 yards.

He also threw two touchdowns and an interception. The Jaguars' rushing attack, which had struggled entering their matchup with the Jets, finally exploded for a big day.

Cam Little's 3rd FG is good and as he was lining up, Doug Pederson just voiced his displeasure to the refs for a few minutes (my guess is not happy with either of the pass interference calls)#Jaguars 16, Jets 10

Jacksonville rushed for over 130 yards for only the second time this season. It was the first time they ran for over 100 yards since their Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots in London.

Sooooo the broadcast announcers knew they would go back to Adams’s for his 100th TD but Neilson didn’t - got it @Jaguars

It was the first time the Jaguars rushed for over 100 yards in America since their Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. Yet, it was not enough to hold off the Jets, as the Jaguars' defense failed them once again.

I don’t care if the Jaguars lose at this point, Tank for a high draft pick. But it’s a waste of money to be going to games and being a season ticket holder though and there’s better things to do on a Sunday then watch this team be a joke and the Owner and GM hates the fans.

These Jaguars throwbacks are so much better than their current jerseys

A 71-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams and a successful two-point conversion put the Jets up three late in the game. A 43-yard Jaguars field goal tied the score at 25 with about two minutes left.

The Jaguars' defense had another chance to save the day but failed with the game on the line, allowing Rodgers and the Jets to put together a 70-yard touchdown in less than a minute. The drive included a 41-yard reception by Adams that helped set up the Jets' touchdown.

The Jaguars would get the ball back but could not score a touchdown to tie the game. The Jaguars return to action next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, one of the few teams in the National Football League that is worse than them.
