There’s no other word for my reaction to yesterday’s game than baffled.
The Jacksonville Jaguars running backs ran 8 times yesterday — including an end-around to Dede Westbrook for 18 yards. That’s 2.25 yards per carry. Blake Bortles was our leading rusher and he only gained 43 yards. T.J. Yeldon, who I’d argue was the best back in the game, only got two carries.
Let me make it clear just how bizarre yesterday’s game was.
The game was within a single possession for nearly 53 minutes and running backs carried a grand total of nine times.
