The Jacksonville Jaguars “lost” to the New Orleans Saints in the preseason opener. I say “lost” in quotation marks because, like I said, it’s the preseason opener. Winning and losing in these games isn’t measured by the final score, but rather individual matchups, certain situations, and (largely) how the starters played against each other in their limited snaps.
Using those metrics, I think the Jaguars offense won — and no one was brighter than Blake Bortles on the opening drive when he carved up the Saints defense, going 6-for-9 (nice), including three third down conversions, and tacking on a beautifully called play action bootleg run to the right for a touchdown.
