New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats
The New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats from December 14, 2025, tell the story of a game that was controlled by Jacksonville from the opening quarter. The Jaguars defeated the Jets 48-20 at EverBank Stadium, producing 438 total yards while New York finished with 284. Jacksonville also scored 31 points before halftime and turned Trevor Lawrence’s outstanding passing performance into a convincing Week 15 victory. The official NFL game record confirms the final score and the major team statistics from the matchup.
For anyone studying the New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats, the final score is only the starting point. Jacksonville won because its passing game was far more efficient, its quarterback avoided turnovers, its offense created explosive plays, and its defense intercepted Brady Cook three times. New York actually ran for more yards than Jacksonville, but that advantage was not enough to offset the difference through the air.
This breakdown examines the individual numbers behind the 48-20 result, including quarterback production, rushing, receiving, defensive performances, turnovers, special teams and the team statistics that explain why the game became one-sided.
New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats at a Glance
The matchup produced a sharp statistical contrast between the two teams.
| Category | New York Jets | Jacksonville Jaguars |
| Final Score | 20 | 48 |
| Record After Game | 3-11 | 10-4 |
| Total Yards | 284 | 438 |
| Passing Yards | 154 net | 330 net |
| Rushing Yards | 130 | 108 |
| Offensive Plays | 68 | 59 |
| Yards Per Play | 4.2 | 7.4 |
| Passing TDs | 1 | 5 |
| Rushing TDs | 1 | 1 |
| Interceptions Thrown | 3 | 0 |
| Sacks Allowed | 3 | 0 |
| First Downs | 19 | 24 |
| Third Down | 8/15 | 4/9 |
| Red Zone | 1/2 | 4/6 |
| Time of Possession | 33:07 | 26:53 |
The most important number may be the 7.4 yards Jacksonville gained per offensive play. New York averaged 4.2. That gap shows that the Jaguars were not simply winning because they had more possessions. They were generating significantly more production whenever they had the football.
Jacksonville also had fewer offensive plays, 59 compared with New York’s 68, yet still gained 154 more total yards. That is a strong indicator of offensive efficiency.
Trevor Lawrence Dominates the Passing Battle
Trevor Lawrence was the clear statistical centerpiece of the game.
He completed 20 of 32 passes for 330 yards, averaging 10.3 yards per attempt. He threw five touchdown passes and did not throw an interception. Also he was also not sacked.
His reported passer rating was 136.7, with a 96.0 QBR.
Those numbers explain much of Jacksonville’s offensive success. Lawrence was not merely accumulating passing yards through short completions. The 10.3 yards per attempt figure indicates that Jacksonville consistently created meaningful gains through the passing game.
His five touchdown passes were especially important because Jacksonville converted its passing production into points at an extremely high rate.
NFL’s Week 15 review noted that Lawrence threw five touchdown passes to three different receivers and also added a rushing touchdown. He led Jacksonville in rushing with 51 yards and helped the Jaguars build a 31-10 halftime advantage.
Lawrence’s Passing Line
| Statistic | Trevor Lawrence |
| Completions | 20 |
| Attempts | 32 |
| Completion Rate | 62.5% |
| Passing Yards | 330 |
| Yards Per Attempt | 10.3 |
| Passing TDs | 5 |
| Interceptions | 0 |
| Sacks | 0 |
| QBR | 96.0 |
| Passer Rating | 136.7 |
The completion percentage was not extraordinary by itself, but the combination of accuracy, explosive gains and touchdown efficiency made the performance exceptional.
Lawrence also avoided the biggest mistake that hurt New York’s offense: turnovers.
Brady Cook Faces a Difficult Afternoon
Brady Cook completed 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards and one touchdown. He also threw three interceptions and was sacked three times for 22 yards.
His reported passer rating was 52.1, while his QBR was 47.7.
The completion rate of 66.7% looks reasonable at first glance, but the rest of the line reveals why the Jets struggled to keep pace.
Cook averaged only 5.3 yards per attempt. His 176 gross passing yards fell to 154 net passing yards after sacks. Most importantly, three interceptions gave Jacksonville additional opportunities and prevented New York from sustaining offensive momentum.
Cook’s Passing Line
| Statistic | Brady Cook |
| Completions | 22 |
| Attempts | 33 |
| Completion Rate | 66.7% |
| Passing Yards | 176 |
| Yards Per Attempt | 5.3 |
| Passing TDs | 1 |
| Interceptions | 3 |
| Sacks | 3 |
| Sack Yards Lost | 22 |
| QBR | 47.7 |
| Passer Rating | 52.1 |
This is an important lesson when evaluating quarterback statistics. Completion percentage alone does not explain quarterback performance.
Cook completed more than 66% of his passes, but his low yards per attempt, three interceptions and three sacks produced a very different overall picture.
The Passing Efficiency Gap Decided the Game
One of the clearest ways to understand the result is to compare the quarterbacks directly.
| Passing Category | Brady Cook | Trevor Lawrence |
| Completions | 22 | 20 |
| Attempts | 33 | 32 |
| Yards | 176 | 330 |
| Yards Per Attempt | 5.3 | 10.3 |
| TDs | 1 | 5 |
| INTs | 3 | 0 |
| Sacks | 3 | 0 |
| Passer Rating | 52.1 | 136.7 |
Cook actually completed two more passes than Lawrence. Yet Lawrence produced 154 more passing yards and four more passing touchdowns.
That difference is the heart of the matchup.
Jacksonville’s offense repeatedly turned successful passing plays into large gains and touchdowns. New York’s passing attack generated completions but struggled to create the same level of explosive production.
Isaiah Davis Leads the Jets in Rushing
The Jets’ rushing numbers were better than the final score might suggest.
New York finished with 130 rushing yards on 32 attempts, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.
Isaiah Davis led the team with 58 rushing yards on nine attempts. He averaged 6.4 yards per carry and scored one touchdown. His longest run went for 24 yards.
Brady Cook also contributed 39 rushing yards on six attempts, averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
New York Rushing Leaders
| Player | Carries | Yards | Average | TD | Long |
| Isaiah Davis | 9 | 58 | 6.4 | 1 | 24 |
| Brady Cook | 6 | 39 | 6.5 | 0 | 12 |
| Breece Hall | 12 | 23 | 1.9 | 0 | 13 |
| Andrew Beck | 1 | 5 | 5.0 | 0 | 5 |
| Khalil Herbert | 2 | 5 | 2.5 | 0 | 3 |
| John Metchie III | 1 | 4 | 4.0 | 0 | 4 |
| Adonai Mitchell | 1 | -4 | -4.0 | 0 | -4 |
| Team Total | 32 | 130 | 4.1 | 1 | 24 |
The most surprising number here is Breece Hall’s 23 yards on 12 carries.
Hall averaged only 1.9 yards per carry. That made it difficult for New York to consistently create favorable down and distance situations through its primary rushing option.
Davis, by comparison, averaged 6.4 yards per carry. His 24-yard long run was one of the Jets’ better explosive rushing plays.
Trevor Lawrence Also Leads Jacksonville in Rushing
Jacksonville’s rushing attack was not as productive on a per-play basis as its passing game, but Lawrence’s scrambling ability added another dimension.
He rushed five times for 51 yards, averaging 10.2 yards per carry, and scored a touchdown on a 20-yard run.
Travis Etienne Jr. carried the ball 12 times for 32 yards, averaging 2.7 yards per carry.
Jacksonville Rushing Leaders
| Player | Carries | Yards | Average | TD | Long |
| Trevor Lawrence | 5 | 51 | 10.2 | 1 | 20 |
| Travis Etienne Jr. | 12 | 32 | 2.7 | 0 | 8 |
| LeQuint Allen Jr. | 4 | 11 | 2.8 | 0 | 6 |
| Bhayshul Tuten | 1 | 7 | 7.0 | 0 | 7 |
| Brian Thomas Jr. | 1 | 5 | 5.0 | 0 | 5 |
| Dyami Brown | 1 | 4 | 4.0 | 0 | 4 |
| Nick Mullens | 3 | -2 | -0.7 | 0 | 0 |
| Team Total | 27 | 108 | 4.0 | 1 | 20 |
Jacksonville ran for 108 yards, only 22 fewer than New York.
The Jaguars therefore did not dominate the game on the ground. Instead, they used the threat of the run alongside an extremely effective passing attack.
Travis Etienne Jr. Was a Major Receiving Weapon
Travis Etienne Jr. produced one of the most interesting individual statistical lines in the game.
He caught three passes for 73 yards and three touchdowns.
That means every one of his three receptions went for an average of 24.3 yards, and each reception resulted in a touchdown.
His longest reception was 45 yards.
Etienne’s Receiving Production
| Statistic | Travis Etienne Jr. |
| Receptions | 3 |
| Targets | 4 |
| Receiving Yards | 73 |
| Average | 24.3 |
| Touchdowns | 3 |
| Long Reception | 45 |
This is an excellent example of why box score analysis should look beyond reception totals.
Three catches may appear modest compared with five or six catches from another receiver. But three touchdown receptions for 73 yards represent an enormous impact.
Etienne was especially valuable because he contributed as both a runner and receiver. Although Jacksonville held him to 32 rushing yards, his receiving production more than compensated for the limited ground success.
Jacksonville’s Receiving Corps Creates Explosive Plays
The Jaguars finished with 330 receiving yards on 20 receptions.
That works out to an impressive 16.5 yards per reception.
Five different Jacksonville players caught touchdown passes.
Jacksonville Receiving Leaders
| Player | Receptions | Yards | Average | TD | Long | Targets |
| Travis Etienne Jr. | 3 | 73 | 24.3 | 3 | 45 | 4 |
| Jakobi Meyers | 5 | 71 | 14.2 | 0 | 21 | 7 |
| Brian Thomas Jr. | 4 | 66 | 16.5 | 1 | 39 | 7 |
| Parker Washington | 3 | 53 | 17.7 | 0 | 33 | 3 |
| Brenton Strange | 1 | 26 | 26.0 | 0 | 26 | 3 |
| Quintin Morris | 2 | 20 | 10.0 | 0 | 13 | 2 |
| Bhayshul Tuten | 1 | 16 | 16.0 | 1 | 16 | 1 |
| LeQuint Allen Jr. | 1 | 5 | 5.0 | 0 | 5 | 1 |
| Team Total | 20 | 330 | 16.5 | 5 | 45 | 28 |
The distribution is another important part of the story.
Jakobi Meyers led Jacksonville in receptions with five. Brian Thomas Jr. added four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Parker Washington averaged 17.7 yards per reception on three catches.
That variety made it difficult for New York to focus on one player.
Adonai Mitchell Leads the Jets in Receiving
Adonai Mitchell was the Jets’ top receiver by yardage and tied for the team lead in receptions.
He caught six passes for 58 yards and one touchdown on nine targets. His longest catch covered 21 yards.
Isaiah Williams also caught six passes, finishing with 53 yards on seven targets.
New York Receiving Leaders
| Player | Receptions | Yards | Average | TD | Long | Targets |
| Adonai Mitchell | 6 | 58 | 9.7 | 1 | 21 | 9 |
| Isaiah Williams | 6 | 53 | 8.8 | 0 | 25 | 7 |
| John Metchie III | 4 | 25 | 6.3 | 0 | 10 | 5 |
| Breece Hall | 2 | 14 | 7.0 | 0 | 9 | 2 |
| Jeremy Ruckert | 2 | 13 | 6.5 | 0 | 10 | 2 |
| Isaiah Davis | 1 | 7 | 7.0 | 0 | 7 | 2 |
| Allen Lazard | 1 | 6 | 6.0 | 0 | 6 | 1 |
| Team Total | 22 | 176 | 8.0 | 1 | 25 | 32 |
New York completed 22 passes, compared with Jacksonville’s 20.
Again, the difference was not the number of completions. It was what happened after the catch and how frequently those completions produced significant gains.
The Jets averaged only 8.0 yards per reception, while Jacksonville averaged 16.5.
That is a major offensive efficiency difference.
Jacksonville’s Defense Creates Three Interceptions
The defensive side of the New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats is dominated by turnovers.
Jacksonville intercepted Brady Cook three times.
Antonio Johnson recorded one interception and returned it five yards. Ventrell Miller and Montaric Brown also recorded interceptions.
New York did not intercept Lawrence.
Jacksonville Interceptions
| Defender | Interceptions | Return Yards |
| Antonio Johnson | 1 | 5 |
| Ventrell Miller | 1 | 0 |
| Montaric Brown | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 3 | 5 |
Turnovers are particularly damaging when they occur against an offense already struggling to produce explosive plays.
New York’s offense had 68 offensive plays, but three interceptions ended drives without giving the Jets an opportunity to finish them.
Jacksonville, meanwhile, protected the football through the air.
Jacksonville Generates More Defensive Pressure
The Jaguars finished with three sacks, seven tackles for loss, six passes defended and seven quarterback hits.
New York recorded zero sacks, two tackles for loss, three passes defended and two quarterback hits.
Defensive Team Statistics
| Category | Jets | Jaguars |
| Total Tackles | 53 | 73 |
| Solo Tackles | 37 | 39 |
| Sacks | 0 | 3 |
| Tackles for Loss | 2 | 7 |
| Passes Defended | 3 | 6 |
| QB Hits | 2 | 7 |
| Defensive TDs | 0 | 0 |
The Jaguars’ defensive advantage was not simply about sacks.
Seven quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss show that Jacksonville consistently disrupted the Jets’ offensive rhythm.
Eric Murray was particularly productive, finishing with six tackles, four solo tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss and one quarterback hit.
Foyesade Oluokun led Jacksonville with eight total tackles.
Malachi Moore Leads the Jets in Tackles
Malachi Moore recorded nine tackles for New York, including six solo tackles.
Jamien Sherwood followed with eight total tackles and five solo tackles.
Jets Defensive Leaders
| Player | Tackles | Solo |
| Malachi Moore | 9 | 6 |
| Jamien Sherwood | 8 | 5 |
The high tackle totals show that New York’s defense was involved in plenty of plays, but tackles alone do not necessarily indicate defensive success.
A defense can accumulate tackles while still allowing large gains and touchdowns.
That is essentially what happened here. Jacksonville generated 438 yards and scored 48 points despite New York recording 53 total tackles.
Turnovers Were One of the Biggest Differences
The turnover battle was decisive.
New York threw three interceptions and Jacksonville threw none.
Jacksonville also lost one fumble, while the Jets had no lost fumbles in the supplied statistics.
That gives Jacksonville a substantial advantage in overall turnover margin.
The three interceptions were particularly costly because they came from an offense that was already struggling to produce passing efficiency.
New York could not afford to give Jacksonville additional possessions, especially with Lawrence operating at such a high level.
The Jaguars Were More Efficient on Third Down and in the Red Zone
The third down numbers are interesting because New York actually converted third downs at a higher rate.
The Jets converted 8 of 15 third downs, or 53.3%.
Jacksonville converted 4 of 9, or 44.4%.
Yet Jacksonville scored 48 points.
That tells us third-down conversion percentage alone did not determine the game.
The Jaguars were much more effective at creating explosive plays before third down and converting scoring opportunities.
In the red zone, Jacksonville went 4-for-6, a 66.7% success rate.
New York went 1-for-2, or 50%.
The Jaguars also scored six touchdowns compared with New York’s two.
This is a useful reminder that efficiency should be examined across multiple parts of the game rather than reduced to a single statistic.
Jacksonville Builds a 31-10 Halftime Lead
The first half effectively decided the contest.
Jacksonville scored 14 points in the first quarter and 17 in the second.
New York scored seven points in the first quarter and three in the second.
The halftime score was therefore 31-10.
The official NFL game summary records Jacksonville scoring 31 first-half points before carrying a 21-point advantage into halftime.
That created an entirely different game environment after halftime.
New York had to chase points, while Jacksonville could manage the game with a large advantage.
Quarter-by-Quarter Score
| Quarter | Jets | Jaguars |
| First | 7 | 14 |
| Second | 3 | 17 |
| Third | 3 | 10 |
| Fourth | 7 | 7 |
| Final | 20 | 48 |
Jacksonville won every quarter except the fourth, which ended 7-7.
By the time the final period began, however, the Jaguars already had a 41-13 advantage.
The fourth quarter therefore had little influence on the outcome.
Special Teams Also Favored Jacksonville
Special teams were not the primary reason Jacksonville won, but the Jaguars produced several useful plays in the return game.
Bhayshul Tuten returned three kickoffs for 93 yards, averaging 31.0 yards per return with a long of 43 yards.
LeQuint Allen Jr. added a 50-yard kickoff return on his only attempt.
Jacksonville Kick Returns
| Player | Returns | Yards | Average | Long |
| Bhayshul Tuten | 3 | 93 | 31.0 | 43 |
| LeQuint Allen Jr. | 1 | 50 | 50.0 | 50 |
| Total | 4 | 143 | 35.8 | 50 |
The Jets recorded two punt returns for nine yards, with Isaiah Williams accounting for both.
On field goals, Nick Folk converted both attempts for New York, including a long of 51 yards.
Cam Little also converted both field goal attempts for Jacksonville and made all six extra points.
What the Total Yardage Really Tells Us
Jacksonville gained 438 total yards.
New York gained 284.
The difference was 154 yards.
Interestingly, that exact difference also appears in the passing numbers when comparing Jacksonville’s 330 net passing yards with New York’s 154.
The rushing battle was much closer:
- Jets: 130 rushing yards
- Jaguars: 108 rushing yards
So the game was not decided by Jacksonville overpowering New York on the ground.
It was decided primarily through the passing game.
Jacksonville gained 330 net passing yards while New York produced 154.
That 176-yard gap through the air more than explains why the final margin reached 28 points.
Why the Jaguars Won
Several factors combined to produce Jacksonville’s 48-20 victory.
1. Trevor Lawrence produced an elite game
Lawrence threw for 330 yards and five touchdowns without an interception or sack.
That is an exceptionally efficient combination of production and ball security.
2. Jacksonville created explosive passing plays
The Jaguars averaged 10.3 yards per passing attempt.
Their receivers averaged 16.5 yards per reception.
Those figures show how often Jacksonville turned completions into meaningful chunks of yardage.
3. The defense forced three interceptions
The Jaguars repeatedly ended Jets possessions through turnovers.
Three interceptions gave Jacksonville a major advantage in field position and possession value.
4. Jacksonville protected its quarterback
Lawrence was not sacked.
Cook was sacked three times.
That difference helped Jacksonville maintain offensive rhythm while making life more difficult for New York.
5. The Jaguars scored efficiently
Jacksonville scored six touchdowns.
Five came through the air and one came on the ground.
New York managed only two touchdowns.
Why the Jets Lost Despite Running for More Yards
This is perhaps the most interesting statistical question from the game.
New York rushed for 130 yards.
Jacksonville rushed for 108.
The Jets also had more offensive plays and converted third downs at a better percentage.
Yet they lost by 28 points.
The explanation is that the Jets were much less effective in high-impact areas.
New York’s passing attack produced only 176 gross yards and 154 net yards. Cook threw three interceptions. The Jets averaged 4.2 yards per offensive play.
Jacksonville averaged 7.4 yards per play.
The Jaguars therefore extracted far more value from each offensive snap.
New York’s rushing advantage could not compensate for the enormous passing and turnover gap.
A Closer Look at Breece Hall’s Performance
Breece Hall’s statistics deserve particular attention because he was one of New York’s most recognizable offensive players.
He carried the ball 12 times for only 23 yards.
His 1.9 yards per carry was the lowest rushing average among the Jets players with multiple carries, apart from the smaller sample involving Khalil Herbert.
Hall also caught two passes for 14 yards.
That gave him 37 total yards from scrimmage on 14 touches.
The challenge for New York was that its primary rushing option could not consistently create positive yardage.
Meanwhile, Isaiah Davis averaged 6.4 yards on nine carries.
The difference between those two rushing performances highlights the value of efficiency rather than simply counting touches.
A Closer Look at the Jaguars’ Offensive Balance
Jacksonville’s offense was balanced in terms of threat, even though the passing game clearly produced more.
Lawrence could attack through the air with Meyers, Thomas, Washington and Etienne.
He could also create yards with his legs.
Etienne provided a receiving threat out of the backfield that New York struggled to contain.
The result was an offense that did not need to rely on one individual receiver.
Five Jacksonville players combined for 20 receptions, while eight players recorded at least one catch.
That distribution made the Jaguars difficult to defend.
The Importance of Explosive Plays
Explosive plays often explain why two teams with similar rushing statistics can produce completely different scores.
Jacksonville had multiple significant receiving plays.
Etienne’s longest reception was 45 yards.
Brian Thomas Jr. recorded a 39-yard catch.
Parker Washington had a 33-yard reception.
Brenton Strange averaged 26.0 yards on his lone reception.
By comparison, New York’s longest reception was 25 yards, recorded by Isaiah Williams.
The Jets had completions, but Jacksonville had more game-changing completions.
That difference is visible throughout the box score.
The Statistical Meaning of 438 Yards on 59 Plays
Jacksonville’s 438 yards on 59 offensive plays resulted in an average of 7.4 yards per play.
That is one of the strongest indicators of how efficiently the Jaguars moved the ball.
New York ran 68 plays but gained only 284 yards, averaging 4.2 yards per play.
This creates a useful comparison:
| Efficiency Measure | Jets | Jaguars |
| Offensive Plays | 68 | 59 |
| Total Yards | 284 | 438 |
| Yards Per Play | 4.2 | 7.4 |
| Passing Yards | 154 net | 330 net |
| Rushing Yards | 130 | 108 |
New York had nine more offensive plays.
Jacksonville still gained 154 more yards.
That is why raw possession statistics do not tell the full story.
The Role of Possession Time
New York actually held the ball longer.
The Jets had possession for 33:07.
Jacksonville had possession for 26:53.
That may initially seem surprising given the final score.
However, possession time becomes less important when one team is dramatically more efficient per play.
The Jets had more opportunities with the ball, but Jacksonville produced more yardage and points during its opportunities.
This is another reason why total possession time should never be used alone to judge offensive performance.
What the Matchup Says About Offensive Efficiency
The New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats provide a clear example of why modern football analysis should go beyond basic box score totals.
New York had:
- More offensive plays
- More rushing yards
- More third-down conversions
- More possession time
- More completions
Yet Jacksonville dominated the final result.
The Jaguars had:
- More total yards
- More passing yards
- More yards per play
- More touchdowns
- Zero interceptions
- More sacks
- More quarterback hits
- More explosive receptions
The second list contains the statistics that had a much greater impact on the scoreboard.
What Fans Can Take Away From the Player Stats
For fans reviewing this game, several conclusions stand out.
First, Trevor Lawrence was the decisive player. His 330 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, 51 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown gave Jacksonville a level of offensive production New York could not match.
Second, Travis Etienne Jr.’s receiving performance was exceptional. Three receptions produced 73 yards and three touchdowns.
Third, Jacksonville’s defense made the key plays. Three interceptions and three sacks turned offensive pressure into tangible results.
Fourth, New York’s rushing production was respectable but did not translate into enough points.
Finally, the largest statistical difference was passing efficiency. Jacksonville generated 330 net passing yards compared with New York’s 154.

Conclusion
The New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars Match Player Stats show that Jacksonville’s 48-20 victory was built primarily on passing efficiency, explosive plays, quarterback performance and defensive turnovers.
Trevor Lawrence delivered the standout performance with 330 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, no interceptions and 51 rushing yards. Travis Etienne Jr. added three receiving touchdowns, while Brian Thomas Jr., Bhayshul Tuten and other Jacksonville contributors helped create a balanced and unpredictable attack.
New York did have some positive numbers. The Jets rushed for 130 yards, converted 8 of 15 third downs and held possession for more than 33 minutes. Isaiah Davis provided an efficient rushing performance, while Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams each caught six passes.
Those positives, however, were overwhelmed by the passing disparity and turnover battle.
Jacksonville averaged 7.4 yards per offensive play compared with 4.2 for New York. The Jaguars produced 330 net passing yards against 154 for the Jets, threw five passing touchdowns without an interception, and generated three takeaways from Cook.
The game therefore serves as a strong example of why individual player statistics need to be interpreted together rather than viewed as isolated numbers. New York had more plays, more rushing yards and more possession time, but Jacksonville consistently produced more value from its opportunities.
For anyone analyzing this matchup, the clearest conclusion is simple: Jacksonville’s passing efficiency and turnover advantage were the defining statistical factors behind the 28-point victory.
