Jaguars hang on for 24-20 win
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars played 299 games without having a non-quarterback throw a touchdown pass.
Then they did it twice — in four days.
Receiver Ace Sanders heaved a 21-yard TD pass to running back Jordan Todman in the third quarter, helping the Jaguars beat the Houston Texans 24-20 on Thursday night.
“We’re going to find ways to be bold,” coach Gus Bradley said.
The trick play came just days after Maurice Jones-Drew’s 8-yard TD pass to college teammate Marcedes Lewis, which turned out to be a huge play in Jacksonville’s 32-28 victory at Cleveland.
Clearly, offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch is finding different ways to get it done.
