The Jacksonville Jaguars looked much better yesterday than they did against the Titans in week #1.  The Jaguars had possession of the football for 34:15 of the game and the defense played very well.  David Garrard didn’t lead the offenes to many points but his numbers were still solid as he completed 17 of 25 passes for 272 yards with 1 TD pass and he also carried the football 5 times for 20 yards (4.0 ypc).  Fred Taylor (16 car, 56 yards) and Maurice Drew (11 car, 31 yards) were busy but neither of them was all that effective.  Dennis Northcutt was the leading receiver on the Jags with 5 catches for 75 yards (15.0 avg).  Reggie Williams also got out of the doghouse long enough to catch 2 passes for 41 yards and a TD.  The Jaguars finished up with 113 yards rushing on 34 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 17 of 25 passes for 251 yards.

The defense was outstanding and it was led by linebacker Mike Peterson who had 7 tackles and 2 sacks.  The Jaguars sacked Joey Harrington 7 times yesterday!  The Falcons finished up with 82 yards rushing on 25 carries (3.3 ypc) and they completed 12 of 20 passes for 166 yards.
