Jacksonville Jaguars
season was the 16th season for the team in the National Football League
. The Jaguars, who are in their second year of "rebuilding" under general manager Gene Smith
, improved upon their 7–9 record from 2009
, but narrowly missed the playoffs with an 8–8 record. Although blackouts had been a persistent problem for the franchise, they managed to sell out all of their 2010 home games.
Indianapolis scored on its first possession as running back Joseph Addai
ran it in from two yards out to make the score 7–0 Colts. After two touchdown runs by David Garrard
and Maurice Jones-Drew
, the Jaguars took the lead in the second quarter, 14–7. Their lead didn't last very long as quarterback Peyton Manning
threw a seven yard touchdown pass to tight end Dallas Clark
, tying the game at 14 heading into halftime.
The Jaguars regained the lead in the third quarter with Garrard finding tight end Marcedes Lewis
for a fifteen yard touchdown pass. Jacksonville took the lead 21–14. Once again, the Colts responded when Addai scored on a two yard touchdown run tying the game at 21. With 2:13 left in the game, Garrard completed it to Maurice Jones-Drew for an eight yard touchdown pass and the Jaguars took a 28–21 lead. That was enough time for 4 time MVP Peyton Manning, however as he hooked up with wide receiver Austin Collie
for a one yard touchdown that appeared as if it would send the game into overtime. The Jaguars got the ball back with 0:42 left on the clock, with the game tied. After a few short plays, the ball was at the Jacksonville 37 yard line with 0:33 left to play. Garrard then threw a deep pass to wide receiver Tiquan Underwood
who caught it along the left sideline with 0:18 remaining in the game. Two plays later, kicker Josh Scobee
lined up for a fifty-nine yard field goal to win the game.
Scobee's kick set a record for longest field goal in Jaguars franchise history.
