NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: 49ers thrash Packers, Patriots handle Cowboys
By Dan Parzych
25. Jacksonville Jaguars (23)
After suffering a third loss in a row on Sunday after coming up way short against the Tennessee Titans, it’s time to discuss how this year has been a complete bust for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Even though the Jaguars were dealt the unfortunate hand of dealing with the Nick Foles injury early on in Week 1, most football fans assumed the team would still be able to compete better in Week 12 instead of suffering an embarrassing 42-20 loss to the Titans.
One would assume that a two-touchdown game by Leonard Fournette while finishing with 159 yards from scrimmage would result in an easy win for Jacksonville, but the defense looked flat-out awful, and put a ton of extra pressure on the Jaguars’ offense.
With Jacksonville being the only team in the division with a losing record, is it time for Jacksonville to begin looking ahead over what 2020 could have in store?
As bad as it sounds, the Jaguars already seemed to make a previous statement before the trade deadline by sending Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams, meaning this doesn’t sound like the worst idea in the world.
Maybe once Jacksonville fills a few holes on both sides of the football, this team can return to the level of serious contender in 2020.
