NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Seahawks Bury Rams on TNF
30. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-12)
After Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler was pulled from the game following two first half interceptions, it looked like the Jacksonville Jaguars were on their way to an actual win. That is, until backup quarterback Tom Savage lit the Jags up in the second half, totaling 260 yards through the air en route to handing Jacksonville its 12th loss of the season. Blake Bortles failed to complete 50 percent of his passes and compiled a pathetic 92 yards and one interception for a Jaguars offense that gained 150 total yards of offense. The end of the season can’t come fast enough for this dreadful bunch and the end of the 2016 campaign will finally put this team out of its misery.
It’s nearly impossible to point out any bright spot on the Jaguars this season. Bortles and wide receiver Allen Robinson have both regressed – Robinson is mostly a victim of Bortles’ horrific season – and this defense has fallen well below expectations from the start of the season. The Jags will hope to find an impact player early in the draft and a new head coach is a certainty after Jacksonville fired Gus Bradley after the loss to the Texans. This team went from having playoff aspirations to hoping they just don’t get embarrassed on a weekly basis. Whoever takes over this mess will have quite the job on their hands, but there is enough young talent to turn this thing around sooner rather than later.
