Breece Hall ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:05 left as the visiting New York Jets rallied in the fourth quarter for a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Hall's run capped a 70-yard drive that featured two critical connections between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. The duo hooked up for third-down gains of 23 and 41 yards that got the ball just shy of the end zone, teeing up Hall's game-winning score.

Rodgers finished 16-of-30 passing for 289 yards and three scores, finding Adams nine times in the second half for 198 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

It was just the second win in 11 games for the Jets (4-10).

Jacksonville had a chance to force overtime on its last possession, but Mac Jones' deep pass down the left side was intercepted by Sauce Gardner at the New York 13 with 37 seconds left, dropping the Jaguars to 3-11.

Jones completed 31 of 46 pass attempts for 294 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, hitting rookie Brian Thomas Jr. 10 times for 105 yards and two scores. Kicker Cam Little added four field goals, including a 43-yarder with 1:51 remaining that evened the score at 25.

Both teams ripped down the field for touchdowns on their first possessions. Jacksonville used the game's first 6:23 on a 13-play, 70-yard drive that Jones finished with a 3-yard scoring strike to Thomas.

New York answered with a 70-yard march of its own that Rodgers capped by hitting Garrett Wilson for a 22-yard touchdown at the 5:01 mark of the first quarter. That would be it for the Jets' offense until the third quarter.

The Jaguars controlled the rest of the first half but couldn't make their massive advantage in time of possession pay off in anything other than field goals. Little connected on 28- and 23-yard kicks in the final 2:41 of the half, putting Jacksonville ahead 13-7 at intermission.

Jacksonville possessed the ball for 21:08 of the half, picking up a whopping 18 first downs.

Adams caught a 1-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, which Thomas answered with a 19-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth. The Jaguars led 22-17 when their two-point conversion attempt failed.

New York pushed back in front, 25-22, on a 71-yard scoring strike from Rodgers to Adams and a two-point connection between the two.
