Maurice Jones-Drew and Rashard Jennings both went over 100-yards rushing and quarterback David Garrard threw for three touchdowns in Jacksonville's action-packed 38-31 victory over the Raiders on Sunday.The win kept Jacksonville (8-5) in front of the AFC South and dealt a blow to the playoff aspirations of the Raiders (6-7), who dropped below .500 with the loss.
The Jaguars needed big plays to overcome a huge day by Raiders' running back Darren McFadden. He had touchdowns on runs of 51 and 36 yards as well as a 67-yard scoring catch. McFadden finished with 123 yards rushing and 86 yards receiving on three catches. Raiders' quarterback Jason Campbell finished with more than 300 yards passing and a pair of TD passes despite missing a series after getting shaken up on a hit in the backfield.
Here are some thoughts on the game:
o. The Raiders mounted a last-ditch drive and were moving the ball deep into a Jaguars' territory before running out of time. A sack of Campbell proved costly as the Raiders were able to get only one play off after that and couldn't stop the clock because they were out of time outs.
