SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The Atlanta Falcons snapped a five-game losing streak with a victory over the New Orleans Saints, while the Jacksonville Jaguars survived an overtime thriller against the Arizona Cardinals to improve to 7-4.
GLENDALE -- The Arizona Cardinals' latest loss just might be their most head-scratching. The Cardinals' 27-24 overtime defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars came down to the final play - though when all was said and done, Arizona dropped their eighth game within the last nine weeks.
Answer: First let’s talk about that first drive. Travis Etienne rush for 2, Brenton Strange catch for 30, Etienne rush for 45 and Etienne catch 15 (touchdown). Just like that, the Jaguars’ 97-yard drive, their longest since Nov. 11, 2018. The game was right there for the Jaguars to seize control. But then they mostly spun their wheels.

Trevor Lawrence was sacked three times today against the Cardinals. Arizona also had five QB hits against him, including a fumble recovery touchdown from Walter Nolen. Sure, the Jaguars had 134 yards on the ground - but the Cardinals didn’t allow them to get in the end zone once in the run game.
Jacksonville Jaguars played their most complete game against the Chargers last week. Now, set to face the Cardinals, the team's standards have risen.
