The Lions play the Jaguars in the third exhibition game of the preseason at EverBank Field (Channel 62). Kickoff is 8 p.m. Follow Rod Beard's updates throughout the game.
Bortles looking better than last year
Though Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was a first-round pick, the plan wasn't for him to play as extensively as he did last season. But he ended up doing pretty well as a rookie, with 2,908 yards, 11 TD and 17 interceptions in 13 starts.
But tonight against the Lions, he's looked very poised and has made some good decisions with the ball.
