NFL Power Rankings, Week 10: Rams face plenty of pressure following bye week
By Dan Parzych
21. Jacksonville Jaguars (19)
After heading to London winners of two in a row, the Jacksonville Jaguars were in position to make another statement if they could find a way to defeat the Houston Texans before their bye week.
As football fans remember from earlier in the season, the Jaguars were in position to knock off the Texans before coming up just short at the end of the game in Week 2, but at least Sunday would provide another opportunity to finish with different results.
Unfortunately, Jacksonville failed to show up to London for this one after allowing Houston to put up 26 points while Gardner Minshew couldn’t even help the Jaguars score a single touchdown in this one.
When looking at all of the recent talk whether the Jaguars should stick with Minshew once Nick Foles is healthy enough to return, this decision seems much easier for Jacksonville all of a sudden.
Minshew has certainly looked great at times on offense for the Jaguars, but Foles is clearly going to put the offense in the best position to win games, and it’s no longer worth debating.
But as for whether Doug Marrone will make the switch, at least the Jaguars head coach has some time to consider all options with Jacksonville in their bye week.
