The Jacksonville Jaguars fought tough throughout the game against the Green Bay Packers. However, despite the Jaguars pushing Green Bay to the edge they still lost 24-20.
The Jaguars are now 1-8 for the season and their 4th in the AFC South division.
Jake Luton who is the Jaguars quarterback did not play his best game of yesterday. He threw for only 169 yards passing and had a quarterback rating of 62.
Luton only completed 51% of his passes against the Green Bay and he was sacked 3 times.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have always lacked the most important position in football which is the quarterback.
The Jaguars need to decide this offseason on a quarterback if they want to contend with other teams such as the Titans, Texans, and Colts who are in the AFC South division.
Every team in the AFC south division all have one thing in common.
They all have good quarterbacks such as Deshaun Watson, Ryan Tannehill, and Philip Rivers.
The NFL is a quarterback’s league, and you will not have success in the NFL if you do not have an elite quarterback.
Jacksonville running game was a key ingredient to their success playing the Packers. Although, they did not win the game yesterday.
The Jaguars can look out how the run game was highly effective because James Robinson rushed for 109 yards on 23 carries.
Everybody knows when your quarterback is not particularly good the run game is something that can allow the offensive to look better because the run game can allow the play action to be effective.
Despite, the Jaguars’ defense not being particularly good this season they did hold that bad man Aaron Rodgers to only 24 points.
The defense must get to the quarterback more often and force turnovers more turnovers.
The Jaguars were known as Sacksonville just a few years ago because they could get to the quarterback.
If the Jaguars are looking to improve for the season and the future, they must get someone who can get to the quarterback.
The Jaguars will have their hands full next week when they face the only unbeaten team in the NFL which is the Pittsburg Steelers.
The Steelers are 9-0 for the season but if the Jaguars can somehow pull off the upset.
They must get to Ben Roethlisberger and try to force him to throw bad throws and establish the run game because that can open the play-action for Jake Luton.
When having an inexperienced quarterback, there is a few the team wants from him which is to protect the football, have great field position, and don’t force anything that’s out of the ordinary.
