JACKSONVILLE, Fla. _ The Jacksonville Jaguars began a potential game-winning drive Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at their own 37-yard line with 3:17 remaining. Poor clock management left them with the two-minute warning and no timeouts.
Trailing 27-23, they crisscrossed midfield after penalties on both teams, with a holding call against safety Morgan Burnett breathing new life into a bleak scenario. A 22-yard completion to Allen Robinson _ who fumbled and then recovered his own mistake _ moved the ball inside the red zone. With mere seconds remaining, the Jaguars were alive.
But failed attempts brought them to fourth-and-1 with seconds remaining. Blake Bortles completed a pass to Allen Hurns on the right side, and the Packers stacked him up.
For all intents and purposes, the Packers made a goal-line stand. They left steamy, swampy Jacksonville with a 27-23 win.
