Maurice Jones-Drew is taking the blame for Jacksonville's 34-24 loss at Indianapolis.
Jones-Drew says both third-quarter fumbles were his fault and adds that he needs to do a better job converting in short-yardage situations.
Jones-Drew finished with 46 yards rushing, ending his streak of 100-yard games at six. He played with a sore right knee, but says that's no excuse for his struggles.
Jacksonville's star player was stopped for no gain on a first-and-goal play in the first quarter, lost three yards on second down and the Jaguars (8-6) had to settle for a field goal. Jones-Drew and Garrard botched two handoffs to start the third, one on fourth-and-1 at Jacksonville's 39-yard line and the other on a first-down option play.
