David Garrard - QB draw beats Steelers
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
David Garrard on 32 yard keeper
What a game to wear you down. It looked to all the world that the Jaguars had the game in hand and then Pittsburgh comes storming back in the fourth quarter to take the lead.
Big Ben struggled for Pittsburgh in the first half and Jacksonville took over the game.
In the second half, it was problems for David Garrard, the no turnover QB had 2 interceptions in the game and seemingly could not complete a pass to save his life.
Garrard aided the Steelers’ comeback by throwing two interceptions — one less than he had all season — only to come up with the play that may have saved the Jaguars’ season. source
Maurice Jones-Drew
Maurice Jones Drew had a great game and at times carried the Jags.
Jones-Drew, escaping Jaguars star Fred Taylor’s shadow in a performance filled with big plays, scored on a 43-yard swing pass after one of Roethlisberger’s interceptions and a 10-yard run that provided the 18-point lead. Jones-Drew’s 96-yard kickoff return the first time Jacksonville touched the ball set up Taylor’s 1-yard touchdown run and immediately answer the Steelers’ opening-possession 80-yard touchdown drive.
But in the end, it came down to a great play by David Garrard with time running out on a designed quarterback keeper Garrard rushed up the middle for 32 yards on a night when he could not hit the broad side of a barn with his passing. The run set up the game winning field goal by Josh Scoby.
