DETROIT - The Jacksonville Jaguars got back to their winning formula of relying on their efficient quarterback and tandem of running backs.
Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a career-high three touchdowns in the second quarter alone after Detroit took the lead and David Garrard threw two touchdown passes in the second half, leading the Jaguars to a 38-14 victory.
Fred Taylor ran for 80 yards after having 25 yards rushing or fewer in the previous five games. Jones-Drew finished with 70 yards rushing after combining for just 62 in the last two losses.
The Jaguars snapped a two-game losing streak. The Lions (0-9) are off to their worst start since losing their first 12 in 2001.
