NFL: Lions remain winless vs. Jags

Published: Sunday, Nov. 9 2008 3:13 p.m. MST

DETROIT (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars got back to their winning formula of relying on their efficient quarterback and tandem of running backs.

Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a career-high three touchdowns in the second quarter alone after Detroit took the lead and David Garrard threw two touchdown passes in the second half, leading the Jaguars to a 38-14 victory Sunday over the winless Lions.

Fred Taylor ran for 80 yards after having 25 yards rushing or fewer in the previous five games. Jones-Drew finished with 70 yards rushing after combining for just 62 in the last two losses.

The Lions (0-9) are off to their worst start since losing their first 12 games in 2001 and they might have what it takes to be the NFL's first 0-16 team.
