Jacksonville Jaguars Secured Overtime Victory Against Cardinals

Jacksonville, Florida – The Jacksonville Jaguars clinched a thrilling 27-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in overtime on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at State Farm Stadium. This victory elevates the Jaguars’ record to 7-4, placing them just one game behind the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts in a fiercely competitive division.

Game Highlights

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence showcased his potential despite dealing with adversity, throwing for 256 yards and securing three touchdowns, although he also faced three interceptions and a fumble. A defining moment in the game occurred when Lawrence connected with wide receiver Parker Washington for a crucial 9-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter, propelling the Jaguars to a 24-21 lead. However, the resilient Cardinals answered back with a 29-yard field goal by kicker Chad Ryland, which sent the game into overtime.

In the overtime period, the Jaguars took possession first. After a promising drive stalled, kicker Cam Little sealed the victory with a 52-yard field goal at 7:46, marking his second game-winning kick in overtime this season. The Cardinals had a chance to respond but failed to convert on a fourth-down attempt, as quarterback Jacoby Brissett’s deep pass was thwarted by Jacksonville’s defense.

Defensive Performance

The Jaguars’ defense proved pivotal in the win by recording six sacks—their highest total since Week 17 of 2023. Moreover, the defense limited the Cardinals to just 55 rushing yards, marking the eighth instance this season where the Jaguars have held their opponents under the century mark in rushing yards. This achievement represents a significant milestone, as it is only the second time in franchise history that the Jaguars have accomplished this feat in eight of their first eleven games, mirroring a success last seen in 1999. Safety Andrew Wingard’s critical break-up of Brissett’s pass on fourth down marked a triumphant finish for the Jaguars.

Brenton Strange made a remarkable return from injury, leading the Jaguars in receiving with five catches for 93 yards. Despite the setbacks, Trevor Lawrence demonstrated exceptional resilience and clutch play, which were instrumental in clinching the win. On the Cardinals’ side, Brissett threw for an impressive 317 yards and finished with one touchdown, while wide receiver Michael Wilson shone with ten receptions for 118 yards. Rookie defensive tackle Walter Nolen III also made headlines by scoring his first career touchdown on a fumble return early in the game.
