First Quarter


The game kicked off with both teams showing determination. The Jaguars quickly established their dominance with an early touchdown drive. The Jets struggled to contain Jacksonville's offense, which was evident from their inability to force any turnovers in this period. Despite a solid effort from Isaiah Davis, who managed a rushing touchdown of 24 yards, the Jags maintained control.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, New York's defense continued to face challenges. Will McDonald IV made his presence felt with a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit; however, these efforts were not enough to halt Jacksonville's momentum. The Jags capitalized on Gang Green’s defensive lapses and extended their lead significantly by halftime.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, Brady Cook attempted to rally his team with consistent passing efforts but was hindered by three interceptions that proved costly for New York. Cook completed 22 of his 33 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown but struggled under pressure from Jacksonville’s defense.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw little improvement for Gang Green as they failed to close the gap despite Nick Folk’s two successful field goals from distances of up to 51 yards. Quincy Williams contributed defensively with four combined tackles but could not prevent further scoring by Jacksonville.


Despite some individual highlights like Isaiah Davis’ performance and Nick Folk’s perfect kicking record in this match-up, it was clear that defensive shortcomings were pivotal in this encounter as highlighted in our post-game report New York Jets analysis.


Looking ahead, fans can catch Gang Green next when they travel south again on December 21st at Caesars Superdome against New Orleans Saints scheduled at 1:00 PM EST on CBS network broadcast.
