Recap

The Jaguars appeared to hand momentum on a silver platter to the Colts with this failed fake field-goal attempt:

But the Colts could not take advantage.

Both sides nearly went into halftime scoreless before Robinson hauled in an eight-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter:

The Jags got a second-half field goal to go up 10-0 before Taylor put this one away thanks to a 39-yard scamper for the score:

Manning's touchdown to Harrison closed the scoring, albeit too late to salvage any chance at winning:

Jacksonville will advance to the second round to play the winner of the Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans matchup. That one will take place on Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET on Twitch.
