While they only have three wins this season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have been surprisingly competitive.

The Jaguars have given up 28 sacks on quarterback Blake Bortles, giving Titans sack leader Wesley Woodyard an opportunity to add to his four on the season.
On the other hand, the league does reassign officials among crews from time to time, as it did last month, after back judge Greg Wilson missed an illegal bat call at the end of a Monday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks. That year, the Colts were 6-3 coming into Week 11. Each team drafted a new franchise quarterback and hoped for the best.
When Titans team co-chairman Amy Adams Strunk recently fired coach Ken Whisenhunt and installed tight ends coach Mike Mularkey as the interim head coach, she made a decision to bypass LeBeau because she said she didn’t want to distract LeBeau from his work with the defense.
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.
Foles threw for 200 yards or fewer in eight straight games since leading them to a season-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks, totaling six touchdowns and six interceptions. However, he has also fumbled the ball seven times and has a lot to learn about the National Football League, and will likely have a brand new system to learn next year.

Drafted third overall in 2014, Bortles has passed for 2,381 yards, 19 TDs and 11 picks. Against the Jaguars 24th ranked secondary, it could be a big game for Tennessee. That leaves Harry Douglas as the only real quality receiver left healthy. “It might be more important than the triceps”. But while rookie running back T.J. Yeldon has been solid and a healthy Julius Thomas can be a handful in the redzone, it is Jacksonville’s impressive collection of wide receivers that have really helped the young QB. Bradley said Monday that Marks would be getting a second opinion on the injury, which apparently didn’t go as well as wide receiver Allen Hurns’s own visit with doctors this week. He writes for a variety of national publications and has over 15 years of sports journalism experience.
