With the Jaguars leading the Dolphins 17-7 and just minutes left in the third quarter, star running back Travis Etienne found a crease in the defense and looked ready to score his second touchdown of the day and put the Dolphins away.
Instead, Jevon Holland punched the ball out from behind just before Etienne crossed the goal line. On the next play from scrimmage, Tua Tagovaiola found Tyreek Hill for an 80-yard touchdown to make it 17-14. The Dolphins had all of the momentum and never gave it back, winning 20-17 on a last-second field goal."That was probably – I’m not the greatest right after the game because of the juggling of a lot of times bad or good stuff I’m trying to move past to be present in the next play.
“Just how the game goes. Somebody’s got to start it off, we needed a turnover at that point. It was down in the red zone. Couldn’t let them score so had to get the ball out," Holland said after the game."I feel like it was a great game. It was a great game. Just the turnover margin, I feel like in the NFL you have to understand if you lose the turnover margin, you lose the game," Etienne said.
"I just have to better in that situation for my teammates and for myself, just understanding the ball is the most important thing and just hold onto it with two hands, then we wouldn’t be sitting here talking about what went wrong.”John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
