The Jacksonville Jaguars were without Leonard Fournette. Instead of going run heavy and letting T.J. Yeldon, Corey Grant, and newly promoted Brandon Wilder from the practice squad run down the New England Patriots defense, they went to Blake Bortles.
That’s right — they pulled up the anchor on the BOAT and called 51 plays that kept the ball in Blake’s hands, 45 of which were pass attempts.
Rarely do the Jaguars win if Blake is throwing that many passes. But they did on Sunday. They won by a lot.
