At a time where many players are fighting for a roster spot, Jaguars quarterback Nathan Rourke added to his case for a backup role on Saturday with an electric highlight against the Cowboys.
Nearly seven months after joining Jacksonville, Rourke, a standout in the CFL in 2022, took the field for the first time as an NFL player after starting the second half of the club’s preseason opener in Dallas.
With the Jaguars up, 22–16, and facing third-and-16, Rourke dazzled fans with a gritty scramble to avoid three tackles before firing a 21-yard dart to running back Qadree Ollison for a touchdown with a defender wrapped around his waist.
