Jacksonville Jaguars vs Arizona Cardinals Match Player Stats

The jacksonville jaguars vs arizona cardinals match player stats from the 2025 Week 12 meeting tell the story of a highly unusual overtime game. Jacksonville defeated Arizona 27-24 at State Farm Stadium, but the final score does not fully explain how the game unfolded. Trevor Lawrence threw three interceptions and lost a fumble, yet the Jaguars still found enough explosive plays, rushing production, defensive pressure, and late-game execution to leave Arizona with the win.

The game was played on November 23, 2025, despite some listings using November 24 because of reporting and publication timing. The official NFL game record lists the matchup as Week 12 in Glendale, Arizona. Jacksonville entered the contest at 6-4 and improved to 7-4, while Arizona fell to 3-8. (NFL)

For readers looking beyond the final score, this matchup is particularly useful because the statistics reveal two very different offensive approaches. Arizona produced more passing volume and more first downs, while Jacksonville generated significantly more rushing efficiency and created enough defensive disruption to survive a turnover-heavy performance from its quarterback.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Arizona Cardinals Match Player Stats

The most important individual numbers from the game are summarized below.

Jacksonville passing

Player	Cmp/Att	Yards	Avg	TD	INT	Sacks	Rating
Trevor Lawrence	18/30	256	8.5	3	3	3-19	81.4

Lawrence’s stat line is one of the most complicated parts of the game to evaluate. He completed 18 of 30 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns, but he also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble.

His 8.5 yards per completed pass attempt figure indicates that Jacksonville was not simply relying on short throws. The Jaguars created meaningful chunk plays through the passing game, even while the turnovers repeatedly gave Arizona opportunities.

Arizona passing

Player	Cmp/Att	Yards	Avg	TD	INT	Sacks	Rating
Jacoby Brissett	33/49	317	6.5	1	0	6-44	92.0
Kedon Slovis	1/1	-2	-2.0	0	0	0	N/A

Brissett was much more efficient in terms of protecting the football. He completed 33 of 49 passes for 317 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. His official passer rating was 92.0.

However, Arizona’s passing success came with a cost. The Cardinals were sacked six times for 44 yards. Those lost yards helped reduce the value of an otherwise productive passing afternoon.

The Final Score and Game Flow

Jacksonville won 27-24 in overtime. The scoring pattern shows just how dramatically the game changed from quarter to quarter.

Quarter	Jaguars	Cardinals
Q1	7	7
Q2	3	7
Q3	7	0
Q4	7	10
OT	3	0
Final	27	24

The first half ended with Arizona holding a 14-10 advantage. Jacksonville then scored the only touchdown of the third quarter to take a 17-14 lead.

The fourth quarter became a back-and-forth exchange. Arizona tied the game through a touchdown pass to Greg Dortch, Jacksonville answered with a touchdown pass to Parker Washington, and Arizona tied the contest again with a 29-yard field goal from Chad Ryland with only seconds remaining.

In overtime, Jacksonville won the coin toss and immediately moved into scoring range. Cam Little converted a 52-yard field goal to give the Jaguars a 27-24 lead. Arizona’s final possession ended when Brissett’s fourth-down attempt failed, allowing Jacksonville to secure the victory. The NFL’s official play-by-play confirms the overtime sequence and Little’s game-winning field goal. (NFL)

Trevor Lawrence’s Complicated Performance

Trevor Lawrence is the obvious starting point when analyzing the Jacksonville side.

His final numbers were:

• 18 completions on 30 attempts
• 256 passing yards
• 3 passing touchdowns
• 3 interceptions
• 81.4 passer rating
• 32.4 QBR
• 3 sacks for 19 yards
• 5 rushing attempts
• 29 rushing yards
• 1 fumble lost

The three interceptions are the biggest negative statistic. They gave Arizona extra opportunities and contributed heavily to the Cardinals‘ ability to stay within one possession for most of the afternoon.

Yet Lawrence also delivered three touchdown passes and produced 256 passing yards. That combination explains why the final quarterback evaluation cannot be reduced to either “good” or “bad.”

Jacksonville’s offense needed explosive plays because its quarterback was taking risks. Those risks produced both touchdowns and turnovers.

The more useful takeaway is that Lawrence’s mistakes were offset by other areas of the Jaguars’ performance. Jacksonville rushed for 134 yards, generated six sacks, scored three passing touchdowns, and converted both of its field-goal attempts.

The NFL’s Week 12 recap also highlighted the unusual nature of the performance, noting that Jacksonville survived a four-turnover day from Lawrence while winning in overtime. (NFL)

Jacoby Brissett Delivered the Cleaner Passing Game

Brissett’s 317 passing yards were the highest individual passing total in the game.

He completed 33 of 49 attempts, giving Arizona considerable control through the air. Unlike Lawrence, Brissett did not throw an interception.

That distinction matters because Arizona had three defensive interceptions of its own. In a conventional game, that turnover advantage could easily have been enough to win.

Brissett’s biggest problem was not interception risk. It was pressure.

Arizona allowed six sacks for 44 yards. Jacksonville recorded 15 quarterback hits, which shows that the defensive pressure was not limited to the six plays that officially counted as sacks.

The Cardinals therefore generated a large amount of passing volume but did not consistently protect the quarterback well enough to turn that volume into a winning offensive performance.

Jacksonville’s Rushing Game Created Balance

The Jaguars rushed 28 times for 134 yards, averaging 4.8 yards per carry.

Arizona rushed only 20 times for 55 yards, averaging 2.8 yards per attempt.

That 79-yard difference in rushing production is one of the clearest statistical separators in the game.

Travis Etienne Jr. led Jacksonville

Travis Etienne Jr. carried the ball 15 times for 86 yards, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt. His longest run covered 45 yards.

That 45-yard run is especially important when evaluating Jacksonville’s offensive efficiency. Etienne did not need a huge number of carries to create substantial rushing value.

He also caught three passes for 30 yards and a touchdown, giving him 116 combined yards from scrimmage and one receiving touchdown.

His contribution was therefore broader than the rushing table alone suggests.

Other Jacksonville rushers

Trevor Lawrence added 29 rushing yards on five attempts.

Bhayshul Tuten recorded seven carries for 17 yards, while LeQuint Allen Jr. had one carry for two yards.

Together, the supporting rushers helped Jacksonville maintain a balanced attack rather than asking Etienne to carry the entire ground game.

Arizona’s Rushing Production Was Limited

Arizona’s 55 rushing yards came from several players, but no Cardinals runner approached Etienne’s production.

Michael Carter led the team with 28 rushing yards on five attempts.

Brissett added 20 yards on three carries, while Bam Knight recorded 12 yards and a rushing touchdown on 10 carries.

Greg Dortch lost five rushing yards on two attempts.

The team average of 2.8 yards per carry indicates that Arizona had difficulty consistently creating positive rushing situations.

That limitation placed greater pressure on Brissett to move the offense through the air. He did that successfully for long stretches, but Jacksonville’s pass rush eventually became an important counterweight.

Jacksonville Receiving Leaders

Jacksonville’s receiving production was spread across several players.

Brenton Strange

Brenton Strange led the Jaguars with 93 receiving yards on five receptions.

His 93 yards were the highest receiving total by any Jacksonville player and represented a major part of the team’s 256 receiving yards.

Parker Washington

Parker Washington caught five passes for 71 yards and one touchdown.

His touchdown was particularly important because it came in the fourth quarter after Arizona had tied the game. Washington’s nine-yard touchdown reception restored Jacksonville’s lead at 24-21.

He also returned two punts for 43 yards, including a 43-yard return.

That gave Washington an impact in both the passing and return games.

Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers recorded four receptions for 50 yards and one touchdown.

His 10-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter helped Jacksonville regain control after Arizona had led through halftime.

Travis Etienne Jr.

Etienne added three receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown.

His combined rushing and receiving contribution made him one of the central pieces of Jacksonville’s offensive production.

Arizona Receiving Leaders

Arizona produced more total receiving yards than Jacksonville.

The Cardinals recorded 315 receiving yards compared with 256 for the Jaguars.

Michael Wilson

Michael Wilson was Arizona’s leading receiver with 10 receptions for 118 yards.

His 118 yards were the highest receiving total by either team.

Wilson was particularly important because Arizona needed sustained passing production throughout the game.

Trey McBride

Trey McBride caught nine passes for 79 yards.

His nine receptions made him one of Brissett’s most frequently used targets.

Greg Dortch

Greg Dortch caught six passes for 53 yards and one touchdown.

His 39-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter was one of Arizona’s most important offensive plays. It tied the game at 21-21 and gave the Cardinals renewed momentum.

Dortch also contributed on special teams with five kickoff returns for 127 yards.

Comparing the Passing and Receiving Numbers

One of the most interesting statistical contrasts is that Arizona gained more through the air, while Jacksonville finished with the more efficient overall offensive balance.

Category	Jaguars	Cardinals
Gross passing yards	256	315
Net passing yards	237	271
Rushing yards	134	55
Total net yards	371	326
Offensive plays	61	76
Yards per play	6.1	4.3
First downs	18	25

Arizona ran 15 more offensive plays than Jacksonville and earned seven more first downs.

Yet Jacksonville gained 45 more total net yards.

That is a valuable lesson when reading NFL box scores: possession volume and first downs do not automatically translate into greater offensive efficiency.

Jacksonville averaged 6.1 yards per offensive play. Arizona averaged 4.3.

That gap was substantial.

Jacksonville’s Defense Changed the Game

The defensive numbers help explain how Jacksonville survived the turnover problem.

The Jaguars recorded:

• 82 total tackles
• 52 solo tackles
• 6 sacks
• 11 tackles for loss
• 5 passes defended
• 15 quarterback hits
• 0 interceptions

The six sacks were particularly significant.

Arizona’s Brissett threw for 317 yards and did not commit an interception, but Jacksonville repeatedly disrupted him at the line of scrimmage.

The Jaguars did not need interceptions to create defensive value. Their pressure production and negative plays helped compensate for the absence of takeaways.

Arizona’s Defense Created Major Turnovers

Arizona’s defense had a completely different statistical profile.

The Cardinals recorded:

• 63 tackles
• 34 solo tackles
• 3 sacks
• 3 tackles for loss
• 7 passes defended
• 5 quarterback hits
• 3 interceptions
• 1 defensive touchdown

Budda Baker, Akeem Davis-Gaither, and Garrett Williams each recorded an interception.

Those three takeaways were a major reason Arizona remained competitive despite Jacksonville’s stronger rushing production.

Arizona also recorded a fumble recovery that resulted in a defensive touchdown.

The strange part of the statistical story is that Arizona’s defense produced the turnover advantage, yet the Cardinals still lost.

That is a reminder that turnovers are powerful but not automatically decisive.

Turnover Battle: The Defining Statistical Paradox

The turnover numbers are arguably the most unusual part of the game.

Jacksonville committed:

• 3 interceptions
• 1 lost fumble

Arizona committed:

• 0 interceptions
• 0 lost fumbles

By standard turnover accounting, Arizona won the turnover battle by four.

That normally creates a major advantage.

But Jacksonville still won.

The explanation lies in what happened between the turnovers.

Jacksonville ran the ball more effectively, averaged more yards per play, created six sacks, produced 134 rushing yards, and finished with 371 total net yards.

Arizona had 326 total net yards despite running 76 offensive plays.

The Jaguars therefore made more efficient use of their possessions, even while making more dangerous mistakes.

Third-Down and Red-Zone Efficiency

The official team statistics provide another important layer.

Jacksonville converted 3 of 11 third downs, a 27.3 percent rate.

Arizona converted 5 of 16 third downs, or 31.3 percent.

Neither offense was particularly strong on third down.

The red zone numbers were more revealing.

Jacksonville scored touchdowns on 3 of 5 red-zone trips, producing a 60 percent touchdown rate.

Arizona scored on 1 of 3 red-zone trips, a 33 percent rate.

That difference mattered.

Jacksonville did not dominate third down, but it was more productive when it reached the red zone.

Arizona’s offense generated plenty of passing yards, but converting those drives into touchdowns was more difficult.

Special Teams Were More Important Than the Final Score Suggests

Special teams quietly played a major role in the game.

Cam Little

Cam Little was perfect on his kicking opportunities:

• 2 field goals made on 2 attempts
• Long field goal: 52 yards
• 3 extra points made
• 9 total points

His 52-yard field goal in overtime decided the game.

Chad Ryland

Arizona’s Chad Ryland made one of two field-goal attempts.

He also converted all three extra-point attempts.

His missed field goal earlier in the game meant Arizona left points on the field that could have changed the late-game situation.

Punt returns

Parker Washington returned two punts for 43 yards for Jacksonville.

Arizona did not record a punt return.

Kick returns

Greg Dortch returned five kickoffs for 127 yards, averaging 25.4 yards per return.

Bhayshul Tuten returned one kickoff for 39 yards for Jacksonville.

The return numbers gave Arizona solid field-position opportunities, but Jacksonville’s overall offensive efficiency still produced the better result.

The Time of Possession Story

Arizona controlled the clock for 37:26.

Jacksonville had possession for 28:33.

At first glance, that might suggest Arizona controlled the game.

But the yardage efficiency tells a different story.

Jacksonville produced 371 total net yards on 61 offensive plays.

Arizona produced 326 yards on 76 plays.

Jacksonville therefore gained more yards despite having the ball for nearly nine fewer minutes.

This is one of the clearest examples of why time of possession should not be treated as an isolated measure of offensive success.

A team can hold the ball longer without producing enough points or explosive efficiency to win.

How Jacksonville Won Despite the Turnovers

The most useful way to understand this matchup is to examine the offsetting advantages.

Jacksonville lost the turnover battle badly.

But the Jaguars gained:

• 79 more rushing yards
• 45 more total net yards
• 1.8 more yards per offensive play
• 3 more sacks
• Better red-zone touchdown efficiency
• A perfect 2-for-2 field-goal performance

Arizona gained:

• 7 more first downs
• 44 more passing yards
• 5 more offensive plays
• More time of possession
• 3 interceptions

Neither statistical profile was dominant across every category.

Jacksonville simply found enough advantages in the categories that directly affected scoring efficiency.

What the Player Stats Reveal About the Game

Looking only at the headline numbers can produce a misleading impression.

A casual reading might focus on Brissett’s 317 yards and Lawrence’s four turnovers.

A deeper statistical review shows something more complicated.

Jacksonville’s offense was explosive but volatile

The Jaguars produced 134 rushing yards and 256 passing yards.

Their 6.1 yards per offensive play were strong.

But the offense also turned the ball over repeatedly.

That combination created a high-variance performance. Jacksonville could produce a big play on one drive and then give Arizona a major opportunity on the next.

Arizona’s offense was productive but less efficient

Arizona produced 25 first downs and 315 gross passing yards.

Brissett avoided interceptions.

But the Cardinals averaged only 4.3 yards per offensive play and managed just 55 rushing yards.

The offense generated volume without matching Jacksonville’s overall efficiency.

Jacksonville’s pass rush provided the counterbalance

Six sacks and 15 quarterback hits were critical.

Arizona’s passing volume looked impressive in isolation, but the Jaguars consistently forced Brissett to operate under pressure.

That helped Jacksonville survive a defensive matchup in which Arizona’s secondary generated three interceptions.

A Closer Look at the Overtime Finish

The overtime sequence deserves special attention because it shows how quickly a game can turn after four quarters of instability.

Jacksonville received the opening overtime possession.

Lawrence immediately connected with Parker Washington for 25 yards, moving the Jaguars into Arizona territory.

Etienne then added two short runs.

On third down, Lawrence’s pass fell incomplete.

That left Jacksonville facing fourth down, but the Jaguars trusted Little from 52 yards.

He converted.

Jacksonville took a 27-24 lead.

Arizona then received the ball with an opportunity to extend the game.

The Jaguars immediately pressured Brissett, recording a sack on the opening play of the Cardinals’ overtime possession. Arizona ultimately faced fourth down, and the final pass attempt failed.

Why the 45-Yard Etienne Run Matters

Among the individual rushing numbers, Etienne’s 45-yard long run deserves more attention than its simple appearance in the box score suggests.

A long run changes offensive efficiency quickly.

Etienne averaged 5.7 yards per carry over 15 attempts. Remove the 45-yard run conceptually and his remaining carries would tell a much different story.

That is not a criticism. Explosive plays are a legitimate and essential part of NFL offense.

Instead, the number shows why analysts should distinguish between volume efficiency and explosive efficiency.

Jacksonville’s rushing game was not built entirely on grinding out four-yard gains. It also had the ability to change field position instantly.

Why Arizona’s 315 Passing Yards Did Not Produce a Win

Arizona’s 315 gross passing yards are impressive on the surface.

But several factors reduced their impact.

First, the Cardinals lost 44 yards on six sacks.

Second, their rushing attack generated only 55 yards.

Third, Arizona scored touchdowns on just one of three red-zone possessions.

Fourth, the team missed one field-goal attempt.

Finally, Jacksonville’s defense generated enough pressure to keep Arizona from turning its passing volume into consistent scoring efficiency.

This is why passing yards should always be read alongside sacks, rushing production, red-zone results, and points.

Team Statistical Snapshot

Statistic	Jacksonville	Arizona
Final score	27	24
First downs	18	25
Total net yards	371	326

This table captures the central tension of the game.

Arizona controlled more traditional possession statistics.

Jacksonville controlled several efficiency statistics.

The Jaguars ultimately scored three points more.

What Fantasy Football Players Can Learn From the Stats

Although this article focuses on the actual game rather than fantasy projections, the player usage provides useful context.

Etienne’s 15 carries and three receptions gave him 18 offensive touches.

His 116 combined yards and receiving touchdown demonstrate the value of his involvement even without a rushing touchdown.

Lawrence’s three passing touchdowns helped his fantasy output, but the three interceptions and lost fumble created a major downside.

Brissett’s 317 passing yards and one touchdown showed strong passing volume, while his six sacks reduced the efficiency of his performance.

Michael Wilson’s 10 receptions and 118 yards were especially notable in a game where Arizona threw 50 team passes.

The broader lesson is that volume, efficiency, touchdowns, and turnovers should all be considered together when interpreting individual performances.

How to Read This Box Score More Accurately

When reviewing a game like this, start with the final score, but do not stop there.

A useful process is:

1. Check passing efficiency and turnovers.
2. Compare rushing production.
3. Look at total yards per play.
4. Review sacks and quarterback pressure.
5. Check third-down conversion.
6. Examine red-zone touchdown rate.
7. Review special teams.
8. Compare explosive plays.
9. Consider time of possession.
10. Finally, connect the numbers to the scoring sequence.

This method avoids the common mistake of deciding which team played better based on one headline statistic.

Conclusion

The jacksonville jaguars vs arizona cardinals match player stats show a game that cannot be explained by one quarterback line or one turnover statistic.

Trevor Lawrence had three passing touchdowns but also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. Jacoby Brissett produced 317 passing yards without throwing an interception, but Arizona surrendered six sacks and managed only 55 rushing yards.

Travis Etienne Jr. provided Jacksonville with 86 rushing yards and 30 receiving yards. Brenton Strange led the Jaguars in receiving yards with 93, while Parker Washington added 71 receiving yards and a touchdown. On the Arizona side, Michael Wilson produced 118 receiving yards and Trey McBride added 79.

The defensive contrast was equally important. Arizona intercepted Lawrence three times, but Jacksonville generated six sacks and 15 quarterback hits. That pressure helped compensate for the Jaguars’ lack of interceptions.

The biggest statistical difference was efficiency. Arizona ran 76 offensive plays and held possession for 37:26, yet Jacksonville gained 371 total net yards compared with Arizona’s 326. The Jaguars also averaged 6.1 yards per play compared with 4.3 for the Cardinals.

Ultimately, Cam Little’s 52-yard overtime field goal provided the deciding points.

For anyone studying this matchup, the deeper lesson is clear: NFL games are rarely explained by a single statistic. The most useful analysis comes from connecting player production, efficiency, turnovers, pressure, red-zone execution, rushing balance, and the actual sequence of scoring plays.
