Trevor Lawrence went 27-for-42 passing for 318 yards with a
career-high four touchdowns and an interception for Jacksonville
(6-8), which has won three of its past four games. Zay Jones had
six receptions for 109 yards and three scores, Christian Kirk
had six catches for 92 yards and Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for
103 yards on 19 carries.
After Riley Patterson made a 48-yard field goal on the final
play of regulation to tie the game at 34, the Jaguars punted on
their first possession in overtime. But four plays later,
Jenkins made his second interception of the game when he grabbed
Dak Prescott's pass that bounced off Noah Brown's hands and
returned it down the sideline and into the end zone.
Trailing 31-27, Prescott capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a
13-yard touchdown pass to Brown for a 34-31 lead with 3:02 left
in regulation.
Despite losing, the Cowboys (10-4) clinched a playoff berth
after the Washington Commanders lost to the New York Giants on
Sunday night. The Seattle Seahawks' loss to the San Francisco
49ers on Thursday also helped Dallas secure its spot in the
postseason.

touchdowns and two interceptions, while Ezekiel Elliott rushed
for 58 yards and a score and Tony Pollard had 75 yards on 19
carries. CeeDee Lamb added seven receptions for 126 yards, while
Brown had six catches for 49 yards and two touchdowns.
The Cowboys extended their lead to 27-10 on Brett Maher's
53-yard field goal with 5:21 left in the third quarter, taking
advantage of DaRon Bland's interception that gave Dallas the
ball at the Jaguars 42-yard line.
Lawrence's 59-yard touchdown pass to Jones made it 27-17 with
3:57 left in the third quarter. His 10-yard scoring strike to
Marvin Jones Jr. following Jenkins' first interception of
Prescott cut it to 27-24 with 1:23 left in the quarter.
Lawrence's 3-yard touchdown pass to Zay Jones gave Jacksonville
a 31-27 lead with 10:03 left in the game.

left in the first quarter after Etienne's fumble gave Dallas
good field position.
Dallas doubled its lead with 13:01 left in the second quarter on
Prescott's 20-yard scoring strike to tight end Peyton Hendershot.
Lawrence found Zay Jones over the middle for a 5-yard touchdown
pass to make it 14-7 with 7:45 left in the half.
