Misery Index · Despair
Jaguars fans blaming the refs, the franchise, and Jake Browning in roughly that order after losing to Jake Browning.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
D.Lloyd's pick at the CIN 34 with 5:22 left handed Jacksonville the game, and the offense answered with an incomplete T.Lawrence pass to B.Thomas and enough breathing room for J.Browning — Jake Browning — to walk it in from a yard out with 19 seconds left. Losing to that quarterback twice in as many tries, with a PI flag fans won't stop relitigating, is the kind of loss that lingers well past Sunday night.
