Buffalo Gets Late Pick-Six to Take Lead, Jacksonville Takes it Right Back

The fourth quarter of Bills-Jaguars was surprisingly good!

The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills 34-31 and the fourth quarter was actually pretty exciting! It looked like Buffalo was going to pull off a miracle comeback, capped off by a pick-six, but Bortles and the Jags were just too good.

The Bills scored 28 unanswered points in front of Jacksonville's [cough] home crowd this morning, the last seven coming off a Blake Bortles interception. With four minutes left in the third quarter, the Bills trailed the Jags 27-3 and began the comeback one minute later with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Robert Woods. Buffalo slowly climbed back in it while Jacksonville politely allowed them to, and the Bills drew within five on a 58-yard touchdown from E.J. Manuel to Marcus Easley. They went for two, making it a three-point game, and then kicked off to Jacksonville.

Then Bortles Bortled.

On third-and-11 from his own 19, Bortles got picked and Corey Graham returned it 44 yards for a touchdown and a 31-27 lead.

Bortles un-Bortled on the very next posession, though, and drove the Jags 84 yards in three minutes to take the lead right back. He capped it off with a touchdown to Allen Hurns, who made an amazing diving catch and rolled his back into the end zone to give Jacksonville a 34-31 lead.

Buffalo had just over two minutes to at least get into field goal position, but they couldn't get out of their own half of the field and Buffalo's last play was an incompletion to Woods.
