Marrone says late 2-point try no swipe at Jets

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said there was no animosity toward the Jets when he decided to go for two points instead of kicking a PAT after a touchdown in the final seconds of Jacksonville's 31-12 victory over New York on Sunday.

Marrone said several players were dealing with minor injuries and the strategy chart recommended he go for two points to extend the Jaguars' lead to 21 points after T.J. Yeldon's 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down with 25 seconds to play.

"We had a lot of guys banged up for the PAT/field goal [team], and on the chart it just said 19 [points]," Marrone said.
