Dougiess Photography: Jaguars 2nd preseason game versus the Jets at Metlife Stadium

Last night the Jacksonville Jaguars took on the New York Jets in their second preseason game. Of course with it being Jacksonville and the Jets a lot of fans decided to not show up for this game. It in turn allowed me to get decent tickets for a cheap price.

Showed up around the stadium with a 20 minutes to go before kickoff so i was able to get a couple photos of pregame warm-ups.

The game looked to be one of those games that would come down to the wire but most of Jacksonville was all the 3rd or 4th stringers who are trying to make the team while the Jets played their starters till the 3rd quarter.

Blaine Gabbert actually looked like he could be a starting Quarterback in this league. He went 13/16 for 165 yards which was definitely a lot better than the week before against Miami. But he came out after the 1st quarter due to injuring his thumb on a Jets helmet.

Even Mark Sanchez looked pretty good since he knows that this is a year he needs to do something since he may be out of a job if Geno Smith plays really well. Mark Sanchez played 3 quarters and went 13-23 with 169 passing yards but also he gave up an interception in the end zone which made the fans boo him as he walked off the field

The whole second half of the game was all about the jets which led to fans leaving the game early since the final score of the game was Jacksonville-13 Jets-37. But Jacksonville has shown some vast improvements from the week before and lets see how the actual season goes.
