Another painful loss for the Jaguars means the Downs outweigh the Ups once more in the weekly Up-Down Drill.
The Jaguars continued a season-long trend of getting off on positive notes in the first and third quarters, where they have outscored opponents 42-14 and 44-9, respectively.
His replacement, Tre Herndon, was beaten badly by Giants’ backup receiver Darious Slayton on a 32-yard TD catch on the game’s opening possession. What is going on with the NFL’s previously No. 3-ranked run defense? The unit completely melted down in the fourth quarter against the Giants, allowing 130 yards on 17 carries.
After being limited to just five catches for 35 yards in his last two games, the Jaguars’ free-agent WR acquisition made the front office look more justified in its $72 million investment. Even worse, the Jaguars couldn’t take advantage of the Giants losing two starting O-linemen to injuries in the first half.
