American Football: Scobee kicks Jaguars to last-minute victory
Josh Scobee kicked a last-minute field goal to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a dramatic 31-29 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their AFC Wild Card playoff game on Saturday night.
The Jaguars looked to have blown an 18 point lead when Pittsburgh fought back with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. With time running out, Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard ran for 32 yards to create the field goal chance which Scobee converted from 25 yards, setting up a divisional play-off with either New England or Indianapolis.
Seattle Seahawks beat Washington Redskins 35-14 in their game, to set up a NFC divisional play-off with Green Bay Packers.
