Big Dill Sports in the desert, and the Jags walked out with the cactus crown. Jacksonville edged Arizona 27-24 in overtime at State Farm, a roller-coaster that started with a bang: Travis Etienne Jr. ripped a 45-yard run, then took a swing pass for a 15-yard score, only for the Cards to clap back with a scoop-and-score by Walter Nolen III. From there it was a duel of haymakers—Bam Knight bullied in from the 1, and Trevor Lawrence settled in to deal, finishing a cool 18/30 for 256 yards and 3 TD while the ground game stacked 134 rushing yards.
Special teams tilted the middle rounds. Parker Washington sparked the third quarter with a 43-yard punt return, and two snaps later Jakobi Meyers cashed a 10-yard TD. The Cards wouldn’t blink. In the fourth, Budda Baker jumped a throw and a few plays later Greg Dortch torched the seam for a 39-yard house call to put Arizona up. Lawrence answered with chain-movers to Brenton Strange—the second-year tight end was money with 5 grabs for 93 yards—and Washington finished the march with a 9-yard score. Jacoby Brissett (33/49, 317 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT) then played the two‑minute game like a vet, feeding Michael Wilson (10/118) and Trey McBride (9/79) to set up Chad Ryland’s 29-yarder that forced OT with six ticks left.
Overtime belonged to the ice in Jacksonville’s veins. Washington opened the frame with a 25-yard snag, Etienne churned out tough yards, and rookie leg Cam Little stepped into a 52-yard moonshot that split the uprights clean as a whistle. Arizona got its crack, crossed midfield, but the Jags’ defense bowed up on fourth down and that, friends, was the dill pickle jar sealing shut. That walk-off 52-yarder capped a day where Meyers’ midseason addition kept paying off and the Jags’ playmakers stacked answers to every Card strike. (espn.com) (espn.com)
Big Dill of the Game: Cam Little — 2-for-2 from 52, perfect on PATs, and the OT dagger. That’s a rookie with veteran swagger. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, and this has been Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill.
