Jaguars 25, Giants 24
Josh Scobee booted a 43-yard field goal with 28 seconds left as Jacksonville recovered from a 21-point deficit to stun visiting New York.
The Jaguars forced three second-half fumbles, returning two for touchdowns, and rookie Blake Bortles went 21-of-35 for 194 yards and one touchdown. Aaron Colvin and J.T Thomas each scored off fumbles for Jacksonville (2-10) in the largest comeback in franchise history.
Eli Manning went 24-of-34 for 247 yards and a touchdown but fumbled twice, including with 20 seconds left to seal the seventh straight loss for the Giants (3-9). Josh Brown gave New York a 24-22 lead on a field goal with 3:26 left but missed his first of the season earlier in the game.
The Giants ate up nearly 10 minutes on a 19-play, 91-yard capped by Rashad Jennings’ 2-yard TD on the first play of the second quarter. Manning found Preston Parker for a 3-yard TD on New York’s next drive and Jennings broke free for a 17-yard score to make it a 21-0 cushion with 6:30 left in the half before a field goal got the Jaguars on the board in front of the break.
Manning fumbled deep in his own territory and it was recovered by Thomas to cut the deficit to 21-10 before Bortles hit Marqise Lee with a 30-yard TD, but a missed two-point conversion left it at 21-16. New York tight end Larry Donnell fumbled on the next drive and Colvin recovered and scored from 41 yards out to give Jacksonville its first lead at 22-21 after another conversion attempt failed.
