41 unanswered points meant a seventh straight loss and all the hopes built up by the early 14-0 lead were quicky forgotten. Maurice Jones-Drew had four touchdowns for the Jaguars and there were enough mistakes to last a month let alone a game. Seven turnovers and 12 penalties were the bullet points on the disaster.
