This type of win is the definition of a...

After falling behind 14-0, the Jaguars outscored the Buccaneers 41-0 the rest of the way thanks to two defense/special teams scores and a phenomenal day from Maurice Jones-Drew. Blaine Gabbert continued to be little more than a caretaker, as he threw for 217 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs...
