The Jaguars had a chance to beat the Jets in the closing seconds...but they couldn't stop being the Jaguars

That was almost competent by the Jaguars! Progress!

Hey, at least the Jaguars and the Jets put together an interesting game. Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson both put together plays that should inspire their fanbases as potential franchise quarterbacks, but the end of this game still showed that these teams have a long way to go.

Lawrence put the Jaguars in position to win the game as they were trailing 26-21. He scrambled inside the five with 41 seconds left to give the Jaguars life and a potential comeback victory.

Then the Jaguars just forgot how to play functional football. On a second pass, which should have been intercepted by Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley, Marvin Jones caught a pass just outside the endzone, meaning the clock was still running.

So, the Jaguars spiked it. On third and goal, burning one of their last remaining plays to score a touchdown.

On fourth and goal, they threw an incomplete pass, but it wouldn’t have mattered if they scored a touchdown anyways because they weren’t set and received an illegal shift penalty.

The Jets declined. The Jets won.

Hopefully next year is the year the Jaguars start to look like a competent team because Lawrence is as promising a prospect as they’ve ever had.
