Back in Week 6, when the Jaguars were bumbling through the early part of their schedule, Maurice Jones-Drew announced that no matter the opponent -- and he specifically cited the AFC Pro Bowlers or the '85 Bears as examples -- Jacksonville has to take the field with the mindset that they can win. In related news, the Jags needed overtime to beat the winless Rams a few days later. Sometimes winning turns on one play, and against the Jets Sunday, MJD's decision to not score had everything to do with the Jags winning. That's right: trailing the Jets 22-21 with 1:48 in the fourth quarter, Jones-Drew fell down just short of the goal line ... and 108 seconds later the Jaguars were 5-4 on the season.
Video after the jump, but just know that during the postgame presser, MJD, cognizant that the NFL has become as much about make-believe as reality, took the opportunity to apologize to all the nerds who started him in their fantasy leagues. And that included MJD, apparently.
"I was looking for someone to tackle me," Jones-Drew said, "but they were going to let me score ... I apologize to all my fantasy owners ... I had myself (Sunday), too. It was a tough call, but whatever it takes to get the win."
