Greatest Jag Play ever

by jawsaints on Feb 23, 2010 8:39 PM EST

This has been done, but I was watching NFL.coms greatest plays countdowns again and the Jags only have one or two representatives anywhere in the countdown clips so....

1995-1999

"Wide Left" Jags won 17-16 over the Falcons in the last week of 1996 en route to becoming AFC runner-up as a second-year team

"The Run" Mark Brunell pulls the longest run by a Jag QB, 38 yards, in the playoffs on a drive capped by a Jimmy Smith TD catch Jags win 30-27

"The Gallop" Fred Taylor on the 2nd offensive drive runs 90 yards for a TD (the longest run in Playoff history) as the Jaguars destroy the Dolphins 62-7

2000-2004

"The last Run at Three Rivers" In a sad 2000 season, Fred Taylor runs for his 4th TD in the greatest rushing performance ever at Pittsburgh, 234 yards, and the Jags win with 4 rushing TDs and two safeties by Emarlos Leroy

"River City Relay" The Saints sucessfully pull four laterals and make a 75 yard TD at the end of the game in December 2002, only to have John Carney miss the extra point to tie it, Jags win 20-19

"Scobee's Shocker" Rookie Josh Scobee kicks a 53 yard FG as time expires and for the first time, Jags win at Indianapolis13-10

2005-present

"Running of the Cats" On the second play from scrimmage, Fred Taylor runs to the right for 76 yards, followed by a Maurice Jones-Drew 18 yard TD run as the Jaguars dominate the Colts, rushing for 375 yards, en route to a 44-17 victory

"The Run II" David Garrard runs for 32 yards on 4h-and-2 as the Jaguars kick a FG with 37 seconds left Wild-Card versus PITT 31-29; in which Fred Taylor sets Heinz Field's rushing record, MJD has the longest non-TD play in Playoff history, JAC wins twice at PITT in one season, and Roesthlisberger throws 3 picks

"Colt Slayer" Josh Scobee again kicks a FG as time expires and the Jaguars beat the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium 23-21 again, providing one of the few highlights in a sad 2008 season

Only two single plays stick in my mind as “franchise” moment. Interestingly enough, they were both runs from a QB. First, the “The Run” by Brunell. They win was something the team needed. The second is Garrard’s run in the first playoff victory for the Jags in this century. That play was… well, the most exciting play for the Jags in the last 8 years.

Which

Is why you should always have a mobile QB IMO.

they are both included here, but the NFL.com countdowns always manage to find so many clips…i was trying here to create a greatest top 10 of Jaguars plays, if I got enough response I had planned to create a Top 10 single performances by a Jaguar (for a game) and a Top 5 performance (season-wise)…then maybe to depress everybody a Top 10 Heartbreaks (single-games)
