The Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the San Diego Chargers in another blowout, 33-14. This game marks the fourth straight blowout loss for the Jaguars in a trend that is becoming quite ridiculous.
Despite playing a strong first half that left the team trailing 17-14, the Jaguars came out in the second half with a conservative game plan that led to a dink-and-dunk approach to offense and soft zone coverage on defense.
Blake Bortles led the Jaguars with a strong debut as the starting quarterback, throwing for 253 yards. Also, rookies Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson continue to impress and have become legitimate threats as receivers.
Overall, the offense totaled 319 yards and controlled the ball for 30:34.
On defense, Paul Posluszny led the way with 11 tackles and helped keep the Chargers rushing attack to a mere 2.1 yards per carry.
Other players who stepped up big were linebacker Geno Hayes (eight tackles) and Roy Miller (one sack). The defense was able to get to quarterback Philip Rivers two times for a loss of 12 yards.
Overall, this was a pretty mediocre effort by the Jaguars. For a team with a lot of potential, Jacksonville seems to be giving up easily. A big reason for that could be the coaches’ inability to make halftime adjustments and take risks.
Let’s take a look at how each positional unit graded out in this Week 4 matchup.
