Blake Bortles ready to excel in the redzone?

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost in Tennessee last Sunday to the lowly Titans, but you can’t blame second year quarterback Blake Bortles and the offense. The burgeoning young star had a terrific day, throwing for 322 yards and 5 touchdowns with no interceptions. Perhaps the most impressive part of his performance was what he did in the redzone – a perfect 6/6 (including a touchdown run by T.J. Yeldon) – after struggling in that area all season.
