A day later, Jaguars defensive lineman Jared Odrick said the play call was “great … awesome.”
That might be true, but the end result — Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota’s 87-yard scramble for the go-ahead touchdown in a 42-39 win over the Jaguars — was more like a nightmare.
The play was third-and-13. The Jaguars rushed six players, including Odrick.
At the snap, defensive ends Chris Clemons (by left tackle Taylor Lewan) and Andre Branch (by right tackle Byron Bell) were neutralized. Blitzing linebacker Telvin Smith was hog-tied by right guard Chance Warmack. With no open receivers, Mariota started to run and crossed the line of scrimmage at the 4.
