Raiders vs. Jaguars: Maurice Jones-Drew Runs Jacksonville Closer to Playoff Spot

Raiders vs. Jaguars produced plenty of big plays, including a 30-yard run by Maurice Jones-Drew in the final two minutes to give Jacksonville a 38-31 win Sunday.

Needing a win to stay afloat in the AFC West, the Raiders came at the Jaguars all afternoon long.

Darren McFadden had a brilliant game, with 123 yards rushing, 86 yards receiving and three touchdowns.

His 36-yard run with 1:53 remaining helped the Raiders tie the game at 31 apiece.

On the ensuing kickoff, Jacksonville's Deji Karim bolted to the left side and ran for 65 yards all the way to the Raiders' 30 yard-line.

One play later, Jones-Drew took the handoff and faced almost no resistance on the way to the end zone.

The Raiders moved the ball into Jacksonville territory, but ran out of time when Jacoby Ford was tackled in bounds in the closing seconds.

With the victory, Jacksonville moves to 8-5 on the season and remains a full game ahead of the Colts.

The Jaguars can clinch the AFC South with a win in Indianapolis next week and a loss by the Texans.
