The Jags found their Mojo and they get the first win of the season on Sunday 31 to 24 over the Texans and today we're giving out the game balls.

GAME BALL 1: MOJO
Obvious Maurice Jones Drew gets the first game ball, 119 yards on 23 carries and 3 touchdowns. The biggest run of the day is when he broke off a 61 yard scamper to the end zone late in the second quarter. This was the break out game Jags fans have been waiting for and it couldn't have come at a better time. Before we get to excited, the Texans have the worst run defense in the league and Mojo is the third straight back to go over 100 yards against Houston this year.


GAME BALL 2: THE DEFENSE
The Jaguars defense has yet to give up a single point in the fourth quarter this year, if you don't think that's important just look at the Steelers and 49ers highlights from this week. Defense wins championships and the defense won this game for the Jags. They did give up 3 td passes by Matt Schaub but they held the dynamic receiver Andre Johnson to 86 yards and most importantly zero td's. The D caused two turnovers and they were big turnovers because the Texans would have scored on both those drives. The first came on the Texans opening drive that kept Houston off the score board and the second came late in the game when the Texans were on the goal line.


GAME BALL 3: THE OFFENSIVE LINE
Big question marks surrounded the O line after the first 2 weeks. Week one Dwight Freeney dominated Eugene Monroe, week two a blocked field goal that was completely the lines fault, week three redemption time. Garrard was hit 8 times but the line didn't give up any sacks and they opened up big holes for Maurice Jones Drew. The O line was responsible for the Jags racking up 184 yards on the ground and 4 rushing Td's

The Jags looked good against the Texans for their first win, but it's a big win against a division opponent that moved the Jags into second place in the AFC South. Now that the Jags found their Mojo they need to keep it going because last year's AFC south champion Titans are on their way to town and they will be hungry for their first win.
