Jacksonville Jaguars rally to claw back Tennessee Titans

Jaguars rally to claw back Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars have rallied to beat Tennessee Titans 21-13 at EverBank Field for their third win of the NFL season.

It was the Titans who started the better of both sides and the visitors took a seven-point lead midway through the first quarter.

Leon Washington found himself on the end of a Charlie Whitehurst pass on seven minutes, with Ryan Succop adding the extras, before the 28-year-old extended the lead to 10 with a second-quarter field goal.

It looked like Tennessee were going to boast a 10-point lead at the halfway point, but Marcedes Lewis pounced with a game-changing touchdown with 31 seconds left on the clock.

Lewis's contribution reinvigorated the Jaguars and Gus Bradley's side rallied after the break, as Toby Gerhart reached the endzone with a one-yard rush to give the hosts a four-point lead.

They then took a big step toward the win when the jet-heeled Jordan Todman raced clear of the Titans' defence with a 62-yard touchdown after six minutes in the fourth quarter.

Succop reduced the arrears to eight points with another field goal, but Bradley's men held on.
