NFL Power Rankings, Week 8: Packers bounce back, Seahawks stumble
By Randy Gurzi
Minshew Mania could be coming to an end. At least, that’s what Ian Rapoport says as the NFL Network insider reported before the Jacksonville Jaguars game against the Los Angeles Chargers that Garnder Minshew could be replaced by Mike Glennon.
"“”The media darling who has become a cult hero in Jacksonville thanks to his mustache, quick wit and propensity for jorts could find himself replaced by backup Mike Glennon. At one point, it appeared Minshew may be the QB of the future in Jacksonville. Much of that is in doubt now, unless he can play his way out of it.”” — Rapoport, NFL Network"
Minshew wasn’t benched in this one but he still managed just 173 yards passing and the Jaguars suffered another defeat 39-29. Now at 1-6, the Jags haven’t won since Week 1 and they’re right back in the mix for the No. 1 overall pick, which would allow them to get Trevor Lawrence.
There were some silver linings in this one as the Jags had another big game from rookie running back James Robinson, who went for 119 yards and a touchdown. He added another one through the air and Chris Conley also scored in this one.
Defensively, however, the Jags struggled to make any key stops and Justin Herbert picked them apart as he threw for 347 yards with three touchdowns in the win.
