When the Jaguars have the ball: It’s no secret what the Jaguars must do to be successful. Although Blake Bortles has played two clean playoff games (zero turnovers) and hit some passes downfield on well-schemed plays, the Jaguars must run the ball. This accomplishes two things: it protects and puts Bortles in good situations and helps keep Tom Brady off the field.
Leonard Fournette, a hammer and a finisher, leads a good rushing attack. But can he break tackles and get to the edge on outside runs? The Patriots harp on setting hard edges defensively, and they’ve done a better job down the stretch; James Harrison has helped here the past two games.
