Giants defensive end Justin Tuck on Maurice Jones-Drew

"He's a little bowling ball. Normally when you say bowling ball, you think he's not that fast. But he's fast, too. He's an interesting character when he gets on that football field. When you do see him, you think he's short in stature, he's small then two seconds later he's stepping on your facemask as he's running over you.

"You've got to be prepared when you play a guy like him and this O-Line and we realize that and we know that that's what they want to do, they want to run the football."

Offensive production during winning streak

The Jaguars have averaged 416 yards of offense including 153 yards on the ground and scored 12 touchdowns during their three-game winning streak.

David Garrard is 61 of 86 passing for 856 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions for a 119.1 rating in the three games. Maurice Jones-Drew has 100-plus yards in all three games and is averaging 122.7 rushing yards over the last three games. Mike Thomas has a touchdown in all three games along with 17 receptions for 226 yards.

The last word

"I'd like to wish everybody out there a happy Thanksgiving. I think we have a lot to be thankful for. First, being able to live in a great country where we enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy, and then obviously being a part of a great game like this. There's a lot to be thankful for. I'd like to point out we had over 30 guys out in the community this past week. I start every Wednesday with a PowerPoint, a little acknowledgment of what the guys are doing out there. I ask guys to be selfless, to give back, to have it be about something beyond themselves, to recognize the number of families that could benefit and the number of people that help them be where they are. There was Operation Blessing where guys were donating meals to families, things like that. Greg Jones and Maurice (Jones-Drew) each fed 50 different families. So it's a great time this time of year, Thanksgiving, to pause and reflect and certainly appreciate those efforts. I wanted to share that with you."
