Jaguars vs. Saints final score: Jacksonville defense embarrassed in 38-27 loss

Jacksonville's defense looked naked, afraid, and alone in their 38-27 loss to New Orleans.

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost 38-27 to the New Orleans Saints today, largely due to their team -- mostly the defense -- looking completely unprepared and overwhelmed by an injured quarterback, a running back who's been out of the league for three years, and a receiving group missing Marques Colston.

With Jonas Gray as the best available running back the Jaguars had, Blake Bortles took it upon himself to win the game single-handedly. That rarely goes well. The offensive line had several drive-killing penalties at key times.
