JAGUARS...24 JETS...22 Jacksonville boosted its playoff chances with a big road win and sent the Jets to another devastating loss. Josh Scobee kicked a 21-yard field goal as time expired, making up for an earlier miss. With the Jaguars facing second-and-6 from the 10, Maurice Jones-Drew took a handoff up the middle and went to a knee at the 1 to give Jacksonville first-and-goal with just over a minute left. New York had no timeouts left. David Garrard took a knee on the next two plays, giving Scobee the opportunity to kick the winner.

Wherever it is on the list of needs in this rebuilding project of theirs, the Bucs probably can put a checkmark by the quarterback. Given one more chance, Josh Freeman might have pulled out another miracle win Sunday. "He's the real deal," running back Cadillac Williams said. "With Josh at the helm, our future here is bright." Maybe they can put a checkmark by the placekicker, too. After all, before Connor Barth's effort against the Dolphins at Land Shark Stadium, no Bucs kicker had made three field goals of 50 yards or more in the same game. ...more

TAMPA It has to have a starting point. Every escape from the darkness does. Maybe that game-winning drive late Sunday against the Packers, which produced a 38-28 victory, was it. It wasn't necessarily one for the ages. But coming as it did, with rookie quarterback Josh Freeman at the wheel and in a uniform that has come to symbolize a losing era, it was enough to make some believe better days are just ahead. ...more
