No lead is safe in the NFL — not even if you’re up by two touchdowns with two minutes to go.The Jacksonville Jaguars found themselves up 25-12 (weird scoreline Cheap Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , it’s fine) and driving in New York Jets territory late in Sunday’s game. On third-and-1, Blake Bortles hit Dede Westbrook for a short pass over the middle and Westbrook took it to the 20-yard line. Bortles was having a Good Blake day so him completing passes was probably a better way to extend the drive and wind down the clock than running it with T.J. Yeldon.But at the end of Westbrook’s catch, Jamal Adams hit him after the whistle for an unnecessary roughness penalty. 10 more yards were tacked on — first down at the 10-yard line.Instead of kneeling so close to the goal line, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett gave Yeldon the ball on first down. Two yard gain, eight yards away. Clock stopped with the two minute warning.Second down. Yeldon in the Wildcat formation. Four yard run. Four more to go.Third down. Yeldon (again) in the Wildcat formation. Three yard run. One more to go.Fourth down. Yeldon runs for the one yard touchdown.And to add insult to injury, the Jaguars opted to go for two instead of the extra point.Asked after the game what he thought about the Jaguars going for two with just 25 seconds left to play and up three scores, Todd Bowles was straightforward:“I don’t tell another guy how to coach his team,” Bowles said. “If they run it, we have to defend it.”It’s the right answer — if you don’t like the other team running up the score stop them from scoring.Asked after the game if he was trying to send a message www.thejaguarsfootballauthentic.com , Doug Marrone was just as straightforward:“We’re not good enough to send a message right now.”No lead is safe in the NFL, not two touchdowns in an early season regular season game and not two touchdowns in the AFC Championship Game going into the fourth quarter. Coming off of a disappointing loss to the division rival Tennessee Titans, the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) look to rebound against the New York Jets (1-2). That means it is time to review the head-to-head history between the two franchises. The history recap is pretty intriguing this week, as these two teams aren’t extremely familiar with each other, but have met 13 times previously. It’s been a series of runs in terms of wins. Let’s break it down. Series historyAll-time regular season series record: Tied 6-6Postseason record: Jets 1-0 (1998-1999 season)Last Jaguars win: Nov. 15, 2009 (24-22)Last Jets win: Oct. 1, 2017 (23-20)Current Streak: Jets have won four straightBiggest Jaguars win: 41-0 (Oct. 8, 2006)Biggest Jets win: 32-3 (Sept. 18, 2011)Interesting takeaway: Each of the past three games Jacksonville Jaguars T-Shirt , and four of the past five games, have been decided by one score. Quick thoughts: While the series itself is very close, the two clubs seem to go on winning streaks before the other team pulls off another W. The first four meetings saw a two-to-two win split, but the Jags then won four of the following five games, and the Jets have now taken the last four meetings. So it seems to be a series of streaks, or periods of time where one team is dominating the other. The Jags will look to break New York’s current winning streak against them on Sunday.Last Matchup Winner: JetsScore: 23-20Date: Oct. 1, 2017Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New JerseyTeam Stats: Jacksonville — 140 passing yards Jacksonville Jaguars Hats , 175 rushing yards, 20 first downsNew York — 255 passing yards, 256 rushing yards, 18 first downsQuick recap: The Jaguars had no business losing this game, but did due to a poor effort from Blake Bortles, coupled with an inability to stop the run on defense. New York carved up the Jaguars on the ground with 255 rushing yards. Bortles completed just 42 percent of his passes and threw a costly pick late in the third quarter that led to a field goal for the Jets. Myles Jack breathed new life into the Jags with an 81-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, and Jason Myers (now a Jet) tied the game at 20 and forced overtime. The Jets eventually kicked a game-winning field goal with just 32 seconds left in the extra period.Previous Matchup: Winner: JetsScore: 28-23Date: Nov. 8, 2015Location: MetLife StadiumTeam Stats: Jacksonville — 381 passing yards, 98 rushing yards Jacksonville Jaguars Womens Hoodie , 19 first downsNew York — 272 passing yards, 29 rushing yards, 14 first downsQuick recap: The Jaguars actually dominated this game, significantly out-gaining the Jets through the air and on the ground. Jacksonville held Chris Ivory and the New York rushing attack to 29 rushing yards on 28 attempts (1.03 yards per carry). But in typical 2015 Jaguars fashion, they turned the ball over four times — Blake Bortles had three of which, throwing two interceptions and fumbling twice (losing one). The Jets were able to capitalize and walked away with the victory. Series By Decade: 1990s: Series tied 2-2 (one playoff win for Jets)2000-2010: Jaguars dominated 4-12011-Present: Jets have dominated 4-0Quick thoughts: We saw a couple of close, competitive matchups in the ‘90s, followed by Jacksonville owning New York throughout the first decade of the 2000s, and currently the Jets have Jacksonville’s number. More than half of the games in the series have been decided by seven points or less. Only four games were decided by 14 points or more. The Jaguars outscored the Jets 129 to 58 in the five meetings during the 2000s. The Jets have outscored the Jaguars 100-56 during their current four-game winning streak. Fast forward to 2018 Womens Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , and this game has eerily similar circumstances to the 2017 contest:The game is being played in Week 4The Jaguars have a 2-1 recordThe Jets have a 1-2 record Jacksonville’s one loss came via the Tennessee Titans Let’s hope that doesn’t mean that history is going to repeat itself. On paper, the Jaguars should destroy the Jets with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold playing against this vaunted defense. But it was New York’s rushing attack that was too much for Jacksonville to handle last season. The Jags, while still not great against the rush, have vastly improved in that area since last year’s game against the Jets. I think the Jaguars bounce back with a comfortable — but not easy — victory this week, and sweep the New York teams. What are your thoughts?
