Jacksonville Jaguars Win 28-13 Over Tennessee Titans
Also, Fred Taylor broke the 10,000 yard rushing barrier for his career. He is only the 21st player in NFL history to rush for 10,000 yards.
After the Titans beat the Jaguars in the season opener, we can kinda consider this to be payback. We gave up only 10 yards rushing to the Titans, and sacked their star quarterback Vince Young a total of 4 times in the game. Vince Young also threw two interceptions.
The Jaguars needed to win this game, and hopefully they’ll go on to make it in the playoffs, and then win a Superbowl. Jacksonville has hosted a Superbowl before, but I’d like for the Jaguars to actually play in the Superbowl and win.
