Columnist Gene Frenette writes: The Jaguars had a chance to land the finishing punch at an AFC South opponent they completely shut down a month ago, only to whiff again with a game on the line.
But leave it to a franchise that hasn’t done anything right in five years to — repeating an all-too-familiar narrative — come up empty in clutch moments.
Griffin didn’t back off his major role in the defense’s epic failure, which resulted in the Jaguars squandering a double-digit lead for the second time in three weeks. “Yeah, I was thinking more back-shoulder, that was the first time throwing it over the top,” said Griffin. “We were getting the same thing the whole game, [officials] making some tough calls on back-shoulder throws. My thought process was the whole time was [the Colts] going right back trying to convert third down, going back shoulder, so I played inside like I usually do.
With the exception of an 18-yard sideline completion to Zay Jones, deep-ball-loving Trevor was remarkably patient. That’s because he had plenty of time, plus knowing he likely had four downs to play with once the drive reached the Indy 40 with 5:09 remaining. The complementary football that coaches preach ad nauseam as a key component to victory continues to elude the Jaguars. Every close loss, they’re always missing something.
For a Jaguars defense that prides itself on pressuring the quarterback, they never put Ryan on the ground. His 58 passes were the fifth-most in NFL history without taking a sack.
