JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Ticker) -- Fred Taylor gave theJacksonville Jaguars a maximum performance in minimal playingtime.


Taylor rushed for 104 yards on 14 carries to help the Jaguarspost a 36-14 victory over the Buffalo Bills.


Recording his first 100-yard effort since December 10, 2006,Taylor scored on a 50-yard run as Jacksonville (8-3) won itsthird straight game to stay within one game of front-runningIndianapolis in the AFC South.


David Garrard threw for 296 yards and a later touchdown and JoshScobee booted five field goals for the Jaguars, who sent theBills (5-6) to their second straight loss.


The Bills managed to stay in striking range until Garrard brokeit open with a 59-yard scoring pass to Reggie Williams with 2:39to play.


Maurice Jones-Drew capped the scoring with a 17-yard run with1:43 to play. That carry allowed Jones-Drew to finish withpositive yardage, totaling 10 yards on 10 carries.

Garrard finished 23-of-37 and remains the only startingquarterback in the league to not throw an interception.

Conversely, Bills quarterback J.P. Losman was 27-of-40 for 211yards with a touchdown and two costly interceptions.

The Jaguars got off to a great start when Taylor burst through ahuge hole off right tackle and rambled 50 yards for just hissecond TD of the season for a 7-0 lead with 9:40 to play in theopening quarter.


Scobee booted a pair of field goals - of 46 and 33 yards - topush the margin to 13-0 just over four minutes into the secondquarter. The second kick was set up by Sammy Knight'sinerception of Losman.


Buffalo, which had its four-game winning streak snapped in lastweek's 56-10 drubbing to the New England Patriots, answered witha 10-play, 72-yard drive on its ensuing possession.

Losman completed 6-of-7 passes for 56 yards on the march, cappedby a 10-yard scoring pass to running back Anthony Thomas topull within 13-7 with 6:03 left in the first half. It was thefirst TD reception of Thomas' seven-year career.


Jacksonville gave the Bills an opening when, facing a 4th-and-1late in the half, Maurice Jones-Drew was dropped for a six-yardloss by Aaron Schobel with 1:56 to play.


Buffalo returned the favor when Losman fumbled on a quarterbacksneak, leading to Scobee's 22-yard field goal with four secondsleft in the half that made it 16-7.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida (Ticker) -- Fred Taylor gave theJacksonville Jaguars a maximum performance in minimal playingtime.


Taylor rushed for 104 yards on 14 carries to help the Jaguarspost a 36-14 victory over the Buffalo Bills.


Recording his first 100-yard effort since December 10, 2006,Taylor scored on a 50-yard run as Jacksonville (8-3) won itsthird straight game to stay within one game of front-runningIndianapolis in the AFC South.


"Saw a good gear there," Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said. "Hedoesn't surprise me, I see it in practice. Fred has some juiceand looked good today."


David Garrard threw for 296 yards and a later touchdown and JoshScobee booted five field goals for the Jaguars, who sent theBills (5-6) to their second straight loss.


The Bills, who played without injured rookie running backMarshawn Lynch, managed to stay in striking range until Garrardbroke it open with a 59-yard scoring pass to Reggie Williamswith 2:39 to play.


"We kept the game within eight points until late in the game butwe still did not make enough plays to win it," Buffalo coachDick Jauron said.


Maurice Jones-Drew capped the scoring with a 17-yard run with1:43 to play. That carry allowed Jones-Drew to finish withpositive yardage, totaling 10 yards on 10 carries.

"They are a pretty fast defense," Jones-Drew said.

Garrard finished 23-of-37 and remains the only startingquarterback in the league to not throw an interception.

"I like a lot of what I'm seeing from David," Del Rio said. "Hehas good fundamentals in terms of set up and balance with hisfeet. He's just operating at a very high level and giving us achance to win."


Conversely, Bills quarterback J.P. Losman was 27-of-40 for 211yards with a touchdown and two costly interceptions.

"I could have done better and I could have done some things tohelp our team win this game," Losman said. "I put us into a badsituation with the turnovers."


The Jaguars got off to a great start when Taylor burst through ahuge hole off right tackle and rambled 50 yards for just hissecond TD of the season for a 7-0 lead with 9:40 to play in theopening quarter.


"The days of old are still the days of today," Williams said."Freddy is still a great back. Anytime I can spring him forsome big yards it is a great thing."


Scobee booted a pair of field goals - of 46 and 33 yards - topush the margin to 13-0 just over four minutes into the secondquarter. The second kick was set up by Sammy Knight'sinterception of Losman.


"They did a good job all day, and on the first interception theguy (Knight) made an excellent play," Losman said. "I wouldhave liked to have that play back."


Buffalo, which had its four-game winning streak snapped in lastweek's 56-10 drubbing to the New England Patriots, answered witha 10-play, 72-yard drive on its ensuing possession.

Losman completed 6-of-7 passes for 56 yards on the march, cappedby a 10-yard scoring pass to running back Anthony Thomas topull within 13-7 with 6:03 left in the first half. It was thefirst TD reception of Thomas' seven-year career.


Jacksonville gave the Bills an opening when, facing a 4th-and-1late in the half, Maurice Jones-Drew was dropped for a six-yardloss by Aaron Schobel with 1:56 to play.


Buffalo returned the favor when Losman fumbled on a quarterbacksneak, leading to Scobee's 22-yard field goal with four secondsleft in the half that made it 16-7.


"We were able to slow down their major weapons and get us a niceworkmanlike victory, so good to see," Del Rio said.
