1.) David Garrard and Maurice Jones-Drew almost lost the game for us by accounting for six turnovers, but like leaders do, they put that behind them and won the game in crunch time. It’s hard to make light of six turnovers, but the box score does not tell the full story, as two of Garrard’s three picks were catchable balls that the intended receiver deflected into the waiting hands of the defense. There aren’t many days where your defense will only allow 3 points off of six turnovers, but Garrard and Jones-Drew have to get credit for stepping up big when time was tight. Mojo converted runs from 3rd-and-3 and a 4th-and-1 in enemy territory on the Jags’ “do or die” drive late in the fourth quarter. After driving to the 5 yard line and being sacked on first down and a Tiquan Underwood drop on second down, David connected on a gorgeous 14 yard strike to Marcedes Lewis to tie the game at 17. The defense surrendered a field goal on the Browns’ ensuing drive and with three minutes left, the Jags took the field down by three points on their own 13 yard line following a muffed kick return. David threw a quick first down to Kassim Osgood, then connected with MJD on a short screen that was taken merely inches from the goal line and punched in two plays later.
