The Jaguars (1-1) trailed 7-3 entering the fourth quarter. Theytook the lead with 10 minutes to play after Garrard capped aneight-play, 80-yard drive with a 14-yard TD pass to ReggieWilliams.


"We were doing a decent job running the ball, but it got to apoint where we knew we had to start putting the ball in theair," Garrard said. "The coaches felt it, we felt it and we knewwe could do it. We just had to go out there and execute."

Carney added a 27-yard field goal just over three minutes laterto make it 13-7, and the Falcons could not generate any offensedown the stretch.


Jacksonville opened the scoring on a 35-yard field goal byCarney early in the second quarter. Atlanta answered and took a7-3 lead on a four-yard TD run by Warrick Dunn.


It was the first, and only, TD of the season for the Falcons(0-2), who are reeling to start the new campaign. They endureda 24-3 loss at Minnesota last week.


"It's not discouraging, its frustrating. There's a difference,"Harrington said. "Discouraging would imply that we don't believein what we're doing or we don't believe in ourselves. We knowwe can move the ball. It's a matter of finishing off thosedrives."


Pushed into the starting quarterback job in the wake of federaldogfighting charges against Michael Vick, Joey Harringtoncontinues to show he's not the answer. He completed 12-of-20passes for 200 yards without a TD or interception and was sackedseven times.


The Jaguars barely topped their week one output, 10 points, butit was enough against the inept Falcons.


"Obviously, it was a situation where we needed to find a way towin, somehow, someway," Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said.

Garrard completed 17-of-25 passes for 272 yards and Fred Taylorran for 56 yards on 16 carries.
