NFL Playoffs 2018: 20 Players who need to step up in Conference Championship Games

20. Marqise Lee

After all of the years of struggling, the Jaguars finally made the leap to serious contenders in the AFC thanks to the defense emerging as one of the best in the league. But if Jacksonville is going to have any chance of knocking off New England, the offense is going to have to play at a high level similar to the Divisional Round against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Without question, the Jaguars will feed Leonard Fournette, who is coming off a three-touchdown performance against the Steelers, as much as possible when looking at how great of a job the former LSU star does at wearing down opposing defenses. However, when looking at how dominant New England’s defense has been at times over the last few months, Fournette’s production alone simply isn’t going to be enough, which is where players like Marqise Lee come into play.

One week after failing to record a single catch against the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round, Lee only caught three passes against the Steelers for 28 yards, which is nothing to brag about. Even if Blake Bortles deserves part of the blame, Lee needs to do whatever it takes to get the football in his hands.
