"That was huge," Brunell said. "You can't ask for a better start."
Jacksonville's second play of the game was a 41-yard completion from Brunell to Smith, and Tavian Banks broke away on a 51-yard run in the final 30 seconds of the first half for the Jaguars. But neither big gainer led to any points.
Jacksonville took a 14-0 lead with a 53-yard drive capped by Taylor's 2-yard run.
Marino started Miami's comeback, going 5-for-5 in a 69-yard drive and hitting a diving Troy Drayton with a 2-yard touchdown pass on third down. Drayton caught a break from the officials, because a television replay showed he didn't have control of the ball when he landed in the end zone.
Jacksonville penalties early in the second half led to Miami's tying touch-down. Two 15-yard penalties on Jaguars safety Mike Logan helped Miami move into scoring territory, and a pass interference penalty on Travis Davis negated an interception in the end zone by Donovin Darius.
Two plays later, Karim Abdul-Jabbar's 1-yard touchdown run made it 14-14.
