The game was so one sided that the Jaguars were up 41-0 in the 2nd quarter before the Dolphins were finally able to score. The highlight of the game was Fred Taylor's 90 yard touchdown run in the 2nd quarter. This was the last game for both Dan Marino and coach Jimmy Johnson.

The Jaguars become the first team in NFL history to lose 3 games to the same team in the same season, where the 3rd loss coming as the home team. (Every team until this point had lost the 3rd game while on the road). Even though the Titans had 4 turnovers, the Jaguars had 6 which proved to be their downfall. The Jaguars failed to score in the 2nd half, in part due to the Titans defense which forced 4 turnovers after halftime. The game started to fall out of the Jaguars reach when in the 3rd quarter, with the Titans up 17-14, Mark Brunell was sacked in the end zone for a safety. Then on the next play, Derrick Mason returned the kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown, giving the Titans 9 points in just 17 seconds, putting them up 26-14. The Jaguars never recovered. The Jaguars finish the season 15-0 versus the rest of the league, but 0-3 versus the Titans.
