Just before halftime, the Cardinals finally managed to respond with a 2-yard touchdown run by Jones, giving them a glimmer of hope heading into the second half.

However, any hopes of a Cardinals comeback were quickly extinguished in the third quarter. Herbert showcased his dual-threat abilities, adding a 12-yard touchdown run to his impressive passing display. The Jaguars' defense remained relentless, not allowing the Cardinals to find any rhythm.

In the final quarter, the Cardinals salvaged some pride with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Tannehill to Boyd. However, it was too little, too late, as the clock ticked down to secure the championship for the dominant Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars' offense proved to be unstoppable, racking up 460 total yards compared to the Cardinals' 319. Quarterback Herbert led the way with 212 passing yards and two touchdown passes, while Mitchell rushed for an outstanding 170 yards and two touchdowns.
