FLOWERY BRANCH —
The Falcons’ defense treads on from the shutout loss to the Panthers on Sunday to face Jaguars’ quarterback Blake Bortles and his offensive arsenal.
The Jaguars, who are scheduled to meet the Falcons at 1 p.m. Sunday at EverBank Field, scored 90 points in their past two games, the most in the NFL.
Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett made the first start of his professional career Sunday, replacing nose tackle Paul Soliai who was ruled out with a calf injury.
