Running backs give Jags' offense some extra juice

Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will not finish as the team’s second-leading rusher this season.

Not if running backs Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon stay healthy.

The two are starting to form the enviable tandem Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell visualized.

Both had strong efforts for the second consecutive week, combining for 54 yards and a touchdown in three possessions against Tampa Bay on Saturday night at EverBank Field.

“The better they are, the better the passing game is going to be,” Bortles said. “Those two are going to be a heck of a duo. The offensive line did a really good job letting those guys run and making holes for them.
