Now covering his beloved hometown team, his knowledge and passion for pro football has resulted in multiple fantasy football championships. They’ll probably be without Allen Hurns, but he was a non-factor in the first game with three catches for 19 yards. He carried just nine times for 36 yards. With the loss last week to San Diego and both the Texans and Colts winning, the Jaguars can not afford another loss.

It wasn’t as though another back stole Yeldon’s thunder. Defensively, Jacksonville is allowing 27.2 points and 358.5 yards per game. Brian Orakpo was extremely successful, so it would not be a surprise to see Jacksonville make some adjustments-chipping, double teaming, or leaving an extra man in. He suffered a scary looking injury and is thankfully being called by coach Gus Bradley “day to day”.
“You have a little bit of a head start, but by no means does it mean you don’t have to prepare the same as the first week”, he said. I think there’s 18 passes and eight runs. “We go through red zone periods all week and we need to carry that over into the game”, he said.
Conservative Approach: Disclaimer- personally, I am viewing this as a lost season from this point forward, so while it may not be the most effective approach on offense, if it keeps Marcus Mariota upright for the rest of the season, I will not complain. The Jaguars are 4-7 with five games to go.
“Yeah, I think any time you get a chance because you play a game, watch it, grade yourself, make corrections and then you move on”, said Bortles.
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) are coming from a 31-25 win over the San Diego Chargers.
Rivers completed 29 of 43 passes for 300 yards.
“That’s kind of stupid”, Bortles said.
“The way the game was going, we were behind, so I guess we were just throwing the ball, ” Yeldon told the Florida Times-Union. “Tackling, the red zone obviously is an issue, third down obviously is an issue, so we talked to our players this week about mastering the obvious”.
“That’s a day to day”, said Bradley.
SERIES HISTORY: 42nd regular-season meeting.
Bortles threw his 13th interception of the season on the ensuing possession, and Rivers and Gates connected for a 12-yard score and a double-digit lead three plays later. Noting it rained in the second half in Tennessee last week, he said, “So it was good for many reasons for us”.
Jaguars’ Offensive Line: Another year, another Jaguars’ offensive line that is struggling to protect their quarterback. “We have to come out of those with touchdowns instead of field goals”. The Jaguars defense should be able to take away the ball, as the Titans rank near the bottom of the league in fumbles lost with one per game.

Hurns has caught 48 passes for 758 yards and seven touchdowns, although he hasn’t had a touchdown catch the last two games after catching touchdown passes seven games in a row. He has been effective in just about every game, even two weeks ago against Darrelle Revis.
