 JACKSONVILLE (Florida Sports Wire) – New York quarterback Daniel Jones lunged over from the one with 5:31 to play as the Giants (6-1) came from behind to defeat Jacksonville (2-5) 23-17 Sunday afternoon.

A Saquon Barkley 11-yard run, aided by a pass interference and too many men on the field call in the 79-yard winning drive, put the ball on the one. Barkley ran for 110 yards.

Jones was 19 of 30 passing for 202 yards. He rushed for 107.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence dove from the one-yard line to give Jacksonville a17-13 lead with 11:45 to play in the third quarter. 

The TD drive was highlighted by a 49-yard run by Travis Etienne. Etienne ran for 114 yards.

Lawrence was 22 of 43 passing for 310 yards. Christian Kirk caught seven passes for 96 yards. 

With 3:26 to play in the first half New York drove 65 yards following an Etienne fumble. Graham Gano connected on a 32-yard field goal. His third field goal of the game, a 34-yarder, ended the scoring.

Riley Patterson began the second quarter with a 27-yard field goal to increase the Jaguars’ lead to 11-7.

The Giants responded with a Gano 33-yard field goal.

Patterson’s opening kickoff went into the end zone and the Giants started on their 25. New York struck first on a nine-play, 75-yard drive.

Jones threw a 32-yard TD pass to Darius Slayton for a 7-0 lead with 10:21 to play in first quarter.

Jones was 6 of 7 passing on the TD drive.

The Jaguars drove 70 yards on their first possession to make it 8-7. Etienne’s seven-yard TD run followed by a run up the middle for two gave Jacksonville their one-point lead.

A Giants’ penalty for illegal formation on the extra point kick set up the two-point conversion.

Lawrence was 3 for 3 for 48 yards on their first scoring drive

Game Notes: The Jaguars were driving late in the second quarter when Etienne fumbled at the NY 10 for the first turnover of the game… the Jaguars made a defensive stop on a fourth and one in the third quarter…an interception by Jacksonville’s Devin Lloyd was negated by a roughing the passer call… the Giants made a stop on fourth and one at their 21with11:25 to play in the final quarter… it was the Jaguars fourth straight loss.

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

(Photo by Nancy Beecher/Florida Sports Wire)   TAMPA (Florida Sports Wire) - Garrett Nussmeier showed why LSU is confident he's capable of thriving as Jayden Daniels' successor. The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
