Twitter reacts to the Jaguars outlasting the Saints 31-24 on Thursday Night Football
The New Orleans Saints had an opportunity slip through their fingers.
On third-and-goal from the 6-yard line with 30 seconds left, down 31-24, quarterback Derek Carr put the ball right on tight end Foster Moreau’s hands in the left back corner of the end zone. The ball hopped out of Moreau’s grasp incomplete.
The Saints wouldn’t convert, and the Jacksonville Jaguars came away with the win on Thursday Night Football.
Trevor Lawrence was outstanding as he went 20-of-29 for 204 yards and a touchdown along with rushing eight times for 59 yards.
Carr may have been sacked once during his 33-of-55 for 301 yards with a touchdown and interception performance, but Twitter assuredly gave him more pressure.
Here are some of the best takes from social media throughout the game.
They marched down the field with ease. Saints have a defense? 😳

I love when Al Michaels is forced to promote stuff he clearly doesn’t care about lol

its strange because i actually don't think either is bad at what they do separately, but al michaels and kirk herbstreit have just never fit together. zero chemistry.

Does Dennis Allen know you're allowed to try and convert a fourth down inside the 20 yard line?

Taysom Hill is a clear answer in the short yardage and goaline. Why is this such a hard concept?

The only snap of NFL I've watched this year was Taysom Hill walking into the endzone through a hole you could drive a Mack truck through. I'll be watching no further NFL.
