For just the third time in franchise history and the first time since 2000, the Jags finished a contest with a 300-yard passer (Garrard with 335 yards), two receivers with more than 100 yards receiving (Sims-Walker, 120 yards; Holt, 101) and a 100-yard rusher (Jones-Drew, 133).

"The O-line backed me up, David threw 300 yards to Torry and Mike Sims-Walker and the defense stepped up when we were struggling," Jones-Drew said. "It was a total team effort."

Jones-Drew had complained last week about the offense abandoning its smashmouth approach. His 33 carries against the Rams was a career high.

Sims-Walker, a week after being inactive for violating a team rule, caught a career-high nine passes. He's notched two of his three career 100-yard receiving games this season.

SCOBEE DELIVERS

Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee's 36-yard field goal in overtime was the fifth game-winner of his career. Two of the five were kicks in overtime.

"I have a routine in my mind and physically that I go through," Scobee said. "I take my steps and tell myself to kick it right down the middle. Then all my thoughts are gone. I don't give myself time for negative thoughts to creep in."

A LOT OF OFFENSE

The Jaguars racked up 492 yards of offense, the fourth-highest total in team history and the most since 2000.

They gained 166 yards on the ground and 326 through the air. The franchise record for offensive production is 538 yards, was set in 1996.

"When we're running and protecting, I think we're able to generate offense like that," said Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio. "It was good to see."

INJURY REPORT

Cornerback Rashean Mathis, who had his 27th career interception and second of the season, suffered an injury to a finger on his left hand that required a splint. Mathis said the injury won't keep him out of action. The Jags are off next Sunday and don't play again until Nov. 1 at Tennessee.

Cornerback and kick returner Brian Witherspoon sustained a hamstring injury and did not return. Del Rio said that Witherspoon "would be a question mark coming out of the bye." But "it's just too early to tell."
