Jaguars vs. Buccaneers recap: Jacksonville crashes and burns
"Jacksonville Jaguars suffer embarrassing 30-12 loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers, look lost with two weeks left in season."
The Jacksonville Jaguars went into their Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers knowing they needed a win, but it was clear on the field that they were struggling. They suffered a 30-12 loss, with the offense turning the ball over four times and the defense failing to force a punt until the fourth quarter.
With just two weeks left in the season, the Jaguars are in a tough spot. The game against the Buccaneers was one of their most embarrassing losses of the season. There were few positives, but receiver Ridley stood out with six catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns.
The battle of former No. 1 overall picks was decisively won by Mayfield, who completed 26 of 35 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars struggled to find any highlights from the game, and Ridley's touchdown was one of the few.
The Jaguars found themselves in a deep hole early in the game, and despite their efforts to make a comeback, they fell short. Turnovers continued to plague the offense, with two interceptions thrown by Lawrence leading to Tampa Bay touchdowns.
The Jaguars will play their final home game of the regular season against the Carolina Panthers, who are currently 2-13. The Panthers came close to a win in their last game, but ultimately fell short. This game will be a crucial one for the Jaguars as they look to turn their season around.
