Josh Scobee savored every part of Sunday's victory celebration.
Even the wrestling match with the ball boy.
Scobee, who produced Jacksonville's only other win in Indianapolis with a 53-yard field goal in 2004, did it again Sunday by making a 51-yarder with four seconds left to beat the Colts 23-21. And this time, he took the ball.
"My holder went to give me a high-five and I took off running,"
said Scobee, who left the ball from his other winning kick in the Indianapolis locker room and never got it back. "I tried to get the ball from the ball boy and he didn't recognize me. He wouldn't let go of it, so I had to rip it away from him."
The victory allowed Jacksonville (1-2) to avoid the franchise's first 0-3 start.
"That thing was drilled,"
Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said.
Instead of being two games behind Indy, they're even with the Colts (1-2) and hold the tiebreaker edge.
But it took far more than Scobee to shrug off their biggest nemesis.
David Garrard impressively evaded the Colts' pass rush to buy time and find receivers during the final 67 seconds.
The powerful running tandem of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor, who each topped 100 yards, got the offense out of neutral for the first time this season. Jacksonville had the ball for more than 41 minutes.
It didn't appear Jacksonville would need Scobee's long kick to win it after a marathon drive that consumed more than 12 minutes to open the fourth quarter.
But as the Jaguars know, 2:00 is an eternity for Peyton Manning. The two-time league MVP ran his first play of the fourth quarter with 2:30 to go, and in 86 seconds, he gave the Colts a 21-20 lead when Joseph Addai scored on a 2-yard run.
Garrard followed that with his impersonation of Manning, getting an assist from an 11-yard pass interference call on fourth-and-1 with 25 seconds to go.
Manning was 15-of-29 for 216 yards with one TD and two interceptions.
