In September, we ran a series on Big Cat Country comparing the Jacksonville Jaguars “Sacksonville” defense to some of the all-time greats.
This month, I wanted to conduct a case study on how the offenses of those respective teams statistically compare to the Jaguars unit and ascertain just how much the defense had to carry the offense on their back to a championship. We already compared the 2018 Jaguars with the 2000 Baltimore Ravens offense, and this week we’re matching up Jon Gruden’s 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rather than doing a career snapshot like the last series, I extrapolated the numbers from the first five weeks of the season and matched those figures up with the final regular season statistics for respective players positions on each team’s offense.
