Torry Holt News

Still ailing from a concussion sustained last week against the New York Jets, Durant is listed as doubtful on Jacksonville's injury report.

All season long, the team's lukewarm fan base and many national pundits have been skeptical about whether the Jaguars could create a buzz for reasons beyond empty seats and local television blackouts.

A lot. The Jaguars and Jets are 4-4 and in direct competition for one of two AFC wild card slots.

First, I'd like to congradulate Rashad Jennings for his first NFL rushing touchdown, and honor him with the picture on this week's preview article.

The Jaguars are scoring touchdowns just over half the time they cross into the red zone and it's an issue that they've been harping on.

Halfway through the season, the Jaguars hesitate to call Sunday's road game against the New York Jets a must-win affair.

BOB SELF/The Times-Union Jacksonville's Torry Holt pulls in a 9-yard pass while dragging Kansas City's Mike Richardson with him on Sunday.

JAGUARS@JETS 1 p.m. Sunday - CBS - WOKV JAGUARS Coach: Jack Del Rio. Record: 55-52. Last week: Defeated Kansas City 24-21. Key stat: The Jags won the time-of-possession battle in four games this season.

KC _ FG Succop 21; 5 plays, 17 yards, 2:19 drive time, 2:38 remaining. Jac _ Mike Sims-Walker 61 pass from Garrard ; 5 plays, 84 yards, 1:36 drive time, 1:02 remaining.

Several Jaguars rookies took part in an interesting 11-play sequence in the first half of the team 24-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting good at bouncing back from embarrassing losses.

They also want to put behind them last week's embarrassing loss at Tennessee. The Chiefs enter the game with just one victory and need to show progress in a rebuilding year.

I don't buy into football home/road splits very much, so when it was pointed out to me that David Garrard of the Jacksonville Jaguars was 0-for-the-season when it came to throwing touchdown passes away from cozy but often half-empty Alltel Stadium, I basically ignored the information.

The Jacksonville Jaguars took away David Garrard's radio show early in the season, then stripped him of the authority to audible Sunday.

Record: 54-52. Last week: Lost to Titans 30-13. Key stat: The Jaguars have scored 16 TDs through the first seven games which ranks as the most TDs in that time frame since 2002.

Jacksonville's 30-13 whipping at the hands of the previously winless Tennessee Titans Sunday sent out a news flash that should hardly have been news: Nor, for that matter, are they the Indianapolis Colts.

Those were the words Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio used to describe his team's defensive effort in a 30-13 loss at Tennessee on Sunday.

This wasn't just losing a football game. This was more of an embarrassment for the Jaguars.
