FOURTH QUARTER

0:00 — Jaguars run out the clock. Colts lose, finish 2-14, but will have the No. 1 pick in April’s NFL draft.

2:00 — MJD runs for another first down, 11 yards. That’s about it. Jaguars should able to kill most if not all of the clock after the 2-minute warning.

2:14 — Colts swarming MJD, but obvious face-mask penalty on LB Ernie Sims.

3:20 — Orlovsky’s rough day continues. He’s hit by Mincey, fumbles. Mincey has 1 1/2 sacks. He was a force with 2 1/2 sacks the last time these teams played in Indy. Colts couldn’t block him then.

9:16 — RB Donald Brown just shy of marker on second-down rush to Jaguars 27. Colts facing fourth-and-1, and are going for it.

10:11 — DE Robert Mathis shows again why he deserves a new contract. Inside stunt, overpowers his blocker, sacks Blaine Gabbert, forces fumble and recovers it at the Jaguars 36. Great individual effort. Mathis leads Colts with 9 1/2 sacks.

FIRST QUARTER

0:00 — RB Joseph Addai runs for 2 to end the quarter. JAGUARS 7, COLTS 0.

0:22 — Carter doesn’t get much on right side. It’s close. Bringing out the chains. First down. Not by much.

3:10 — Jaguars rookie QB Blaine Gabbert throws 23-yard TD pass to WR Chastin West, who beats CB Kevin Thomas and bounces off hit from Lefeged and gets into the end zone. Colts coverage too loose, although Lefeged did try to level West, but to no avail. JAGUARS 7, COLTS 0.

6:43 — Colts catch a break as Orlovsky throws an ill-advised sideline pass. Jaguars CB Drew Coleman intercepts but his momentum takes his second foot out of bounds. Orlovsky somehow didn’t see Coleman on the rollout to the right. QB was looking at WR Austin Collie, who was a few yards farther down field. Colts are fortunate to get to punt.

8:04 — Colts with the goal-line stand! MLB Pat Angerer gets penetration to get the hit on Jones-Drew and Jamaal Anderson finishes. Jaguars fail to gain 1 yard on back-to-back plays. Both runs were to the right, but Colts were stout.

8:38 — Great stop near the goal line by Bethea as he meets Jones-Drew and stands him up just shy of end zone on third-and-1 rush. It looked like Jones-Drew had scored on the previous play after catching a short pass and reaching for the goal line. Surprised interim coach Mel Tucker didn’t challenge.

11:08 — Colts don’t have any outside containment as Jones-Drew takes quick pitch around left end for 14 yards to the Colts 10. DE Jerry Hughes sighting, but of course, he’s out of position.
