The Jaguars felt like they did enough good things to win at Indianapolis. They scored early, controlled the clock, stopped the run and limited big plays.

They also admittedly did enough bad things to lose.

Byron Leftwich threw two interceptions, Josh Scobee missed two field goals and the Jaguars allowed an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown. The result was a 21-14 loss that diminished Jacksonville's chances of unseating the Colts in the division.

Coach Jack Del Rio was quick to point out the positives. The Jaguars scored on their opening drive. They finished with 190 yards rushing. They allowed one sack for the third consecutive game. They held the ball for nearly 40 minutes.

They also held the Colts to 63 yards rushing, forced them to punt seven times and allowed just two plays to gain more than 25 yards.

But two turnovers and three special teams miscues doomed the Jags (2-1).

``You don't allow one game to deflate your morale so much so that you don't focus going forward,'' tight end Kyle Brady said. ``It can snowball if you do that, and that's the last thing we want.''
