JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 25 -- Fred Taylor turned his head and stared down two defenders as he strolled into the end zone.
It was the last time he looked back Sunday.
Taylor ran for a season-high 104 yards and a touchdown, Josh Scobee kicked five field goals and the Jacksonville Jaguars thumped Buffalo, 36-14, in a game more lopsided than the final score indicated.
Taylor and the Jaguars (8-3) wasted little time reflecting on this one.
They quickly turned their attention to next week's game at Indianapolis, which could be Jacksonville's last chance to win the AFC South.
"We know what's in front of us," Taylor said. "We know what's at stake."
The Jaguars' third consecutive victory gave them extra confidence heading into next week's second meeting with the Colts. Indy won the first game, 29-7.
"We're really rolling right now," Jaguars linebacker Clint Ingram said. "We're steady building. Everybody is taking a step forward and we're not really taking any steps back. Not to toot our own horn right now too much, but everybody's got the same goal.
"We're ready for the Colts now."
David Garrard hooked up with Reggie Williams for a 59-yard score that put Jacksonville ahead 29-14 with 2 minutes 39 seconds remaining, then Maurice Jones-Drew added a 17-yard scoring run with 1:43 to play.
The two plays turned an eight-point lead into a rout.
"To give up two crucial big plays, that was key to the game," Bills safety George Wilson said. "That's what this game is about: making big plays and stopping big plays. They made more plays than we did today and they got the win."
