AFC South: End of September Report
By Josh McSwain
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3): D-
There was a lot of hype surrounding this team coming into this season. Many had them getting to .500 or better and some even had them winning the AFC South. They had two close calls at home so far, but were absolutely mauled by the Chargers on the road.
Their offense looks just about like it did last year, with Blake Bortles having to throw all the time and throwing a lot of interceptions. They still don’t have any run game, as they rank 31st in rushing yards and yards per carry. Their offensive line is still not good, allowing nine sacks so far. Until they shore up that area, they are going to continue to struggle.
The defense has improved, as Dante Fowler has made an impact with two sacks in his first three games. The pass defense has looked better as they limited Aaron Rodgers to 199 yards in the opener, and is currently seventh in passing yards against.
Gus Bradley’s seat is going to get awfully hot very quickly if he does not start getting wins. This team has the talent to win, they just aren’t getting it done.
