Jacksonville Jaguars vs Las Vegas Raiders: Complete Game Recap & Player Stats
The Jacksonville Jaguars vs Las Vegas Raiders match produced one of the most dramatic games of the 2025 NFL season — an overtime showdown that had everything: record-breaking kicks, clutch quarterback runs, red-zone drama, momentum swings, controversial penalties, and superstar performances on both sides. The Jaguars escaped with a 30–29 overtime victory, but the storyline goes far deeper than the final score.
Match Summary
The Jaguars entered Las Vegas fighting illness, injuries, and a two-game losing streak. The Raiders entered trying to salvage a fading season. What followed was a 5-quarter heavyweight fight, with six total lead changes from the third quarter onward.
The game looked bleak early for Jacksonville after a red-zone interception, stalled drives, and illness affecting their quarterback. But the second half flipped the script.
The Jaguars clawed back on the strength of:
- Trevor Lawrence’s two rushing touchdowns
- Cam Little’s historic 68-yard field goal
- A late defensive stand by DaVon Hamilton
Meanwhile, the Raiders leaned on:
- Geno Smith’s 4 passing touchdowns

- Strong special teams returns
Ultimately, Vegas’ missed extra point and failed 2-point attempt in overtime sealed their fate.
Key Storylines That Defined This Game

The Jaguars’ QB entered the game visibly drained. Despite early struggles — including an end-zone interception — he settled down and played a brilliant second half.
He led:
- A 13-play touchdown drive
- A late game-tying FG drive
- And the OT go-ahead touchdown drive
Clutch, efficient, and resilient.

He logged:
- 12 catches
- 127 yards
- 3 touchdowns
- Multiple contested grabs
- A 27-yard fourth-quarter TD to retake the lead
His performance will be remembered as one of the defining TE performances of the year.

- Cam Little’s 68-yard NFL-record field goal
- Vegas KR Raheem Mostert averaging 40.4 yards per return
- A missed extra point from Vegas
- Jacksonville’s perfect 3/3 XP attempts
Every point mattered — and every kick shifted momentum.
4. Overtime Heroics and Heartbreak
OT began with the Jaguars grinding through a 10-play, 44-yard drive ending in a QB sneak TD.
Vegas responded with an 8-play TD drive — but failed on the two-point try.
