Jaguars...20 Packers...16
Green Bay’s slim playoff chances ended in fitting fashion -- with another fourth-quarter collapse.
David Garrard threw two touchdowns passes, Maurice Jones-Drew scored twice and the Jacksonville Jaguars snapped a four-game losing streak with a 20-16 victory over the Packers.
The Packers (5-9) lost on a late drive for the third consecutive week. Carolina beat Green Bay, 35-31, two weeks ago with a 55-yard drive in the final two minutes. Houston kicked a winning field goal as time expired to win, 24-21, last week.
The latest one came courtesy of Garrard, Dennis Northcutt and Jones-Drew.
The Packers entered the fourth quarter with a 13-7 lead, poised to snap a three-game slide, but Garrard directed two scoring drives that gave Jacksonville (5-9) its second victory in eight games.
Quoteworthy: “It’s been a while. It was a happy locker room.” -- Jack Del Rio, Jaguars coach
