Game of the Week

Jags 40 Texans 30 – Great game from Joe, he had many great calls in which the dice didn’t lean his way but still a great effort. Both defenses didn’t really show up in this affair as both of us were plenty capable of moving the ball on one another (438 TOT yards Jags, 443 TOT yards Texans).The most important play of the game came with 3 mins to go in the 3rd. The Texans were moving the ball and only down 8, coming off a TD and defensive stop. 4th and 3 around the Jags 43 yard line and the Jags came up with a stop of their own. The Jags ensued to march down the field and score a TD for themselves putting the game at 33-18 to start the 4th.Players of the Game M.Glennon 21/28 239 yrds 3 TDs 1INTD.
