  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars secured an 18-point comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints in their preseason opener on Saturday, with key performances from rookie running back J Mari Taylor and quarterback Joey Aguilar. Taylor rushed for 78 yards and scored the game's first touchdown in the fourth quarter, propelling the Jaguars to a 24-20 win. The Jaguars' first points came on Joey Aguilar's 43-yard touchdown pass to Trebor Pena, which broke the deadlock. Despite both teams benching most of their starters, the Jaguars capitalized on the opportunity to evaluate players for reserve roles. New Orleans' Ty Chandler opened the game with a 86-yard kickoff return, setting the tone for their 7-0 early lead. The Saints also scored a touchdown on a Tyler Shough pass to rookie tight end Oscar Delp. Zach Wilson, acquired by New Orleans as a free agent, briefly took over at quarterback for the Jaguars, connecting with rookie tight end Hunter Long for a short touchdown. The Saints' Nick Mullens struggled, completing only three of seven passes for 33 yards and getting intercepted by Jaylen Ford. Injuries were a concern for both teams, with Jacksonville's Chuma Edoga suffering a leg injury early on and New Orleans' Cam Little recording three field goals.",
