JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Maurice Jones-Drew followed a 75-yard reception with a 1-yard touchdown dive, and the Jaguars overcame turnover problems to beat the banged-up Cleveland Browns 24-20 on Sunday.
Jones-Drew broke four tackles on a fourth-quarter screen pass from David Garrard and weaved his way toward the end zone. Browns rookie Joe Haden made a touchdown-saving tackle, but it ended up taking precious seconds off the clock.
Jones-Drew scored two plays later, giving both teams dramatic finishes for the second time in two games.
The Jaguars (6-4) beat the Houston Texans last week on Garrard's desperation TD pass to Mike Thomas on the final play. The Browns (3-7) lost to the New York Jets in overtime on Santonio Holmes' 37-yard TD reception.
Cleveland had a final chance to win this one, but Jacksonville's Sean Considine tipped Colt McCoy's pass to Mike Bell at the goal line. The pass bounced off Bell's chest and landed in Considine's arms.
