Jordan Todman juked one defender and stiff-armed another on his way to a 62-yard touchdown run that helped the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 21-13 on Thursday night.

Todman's first carry was the biggest play in a relatively meaningless game between two of the NFL's worst teams.

The Jaguars (3-12) won for the second time in four weeks thanks to a rejuvenated offense that had been mostly stagnant for four-plus games. Playing the Titans (2-13) surely aided the effort.

Tennessee lost its ninth consecutive game and moved a step closer to securing the No. 1 pick in the draft.

The Titans had a chance late and were driving, but defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks sacked Charlie Whitehurst on the final play. It gave Marks' 8 1/2 sacks this season, triggering a $600,000 bonus in his contract.
