JAGUARS...24 JETS...22 Jacksonville boosted its playoff chances with a big road win and sent the Jets to another devastating loss. Josh Scobee kicked a 21-yard field goal as time expired, making up for an earlier miss. With the Jaguars facing second-and-6 from the 10, Maurice Jones-Drew took a handoff up the middle and went to a knee at the 1 to give Jacksonville first-and-goal with just over a minute left. New York had no timeouts left. David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, giving Scobee the opportunity to kick the winner. The Jets came out of their bye-week break making the same mistakes that plagued them in the first eight games. New York has lost five of six. ...more

JAGUARS ...24 CHIEFS ...21 David Garrard threw for 264 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown to Mike Sims-Walker, to lead Jacksonville. The Jaguars, up and down all season, responded in similar fashion following losses to Arizona and Seattle earlier this season. The latest turnaround after a defeat came after Coach Jack Del Rio ripped his team's defensive effort in a 30-13 loss at the Titans, calling it "insulting, ugly and embarrassing."

Don't be fooled by Jacksonville's 139 rushing yards against Houston - QB David Garrard accounted for 41 of them. The Jags can't be taken seriously as a Super Bowl threat until they get Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew going on the ground. ... The Chargers are still packing a lot of heat on enemy QBs despite the season-ending loss of Pro Bowl OLB Shawne Merriman, one of the game's premier pass rushers. Credit veteran defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell for mixing up San Diego's fronts and coverages. ... Besides the 4-0 record, here's another reason why Buffalo's Dick Jauron is the early frontrunner as NFL Coach of the Year. Trailing the Rams 14-6 on the road at halftime, Buffalo ran on 21 of its 29 second-half snaps. That's faith in your guys up front to get it done, folks. ... Keep your chin up, Jay Cutler - even when John Elway was in his prime, he usually struggled at Arrowhead. ...
