Well, the Tank Bowl certainly lived up to the hype.
There weren’t many expectations heading into the Week 16 matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams have been bad this season and it showed on the field why they are competing for positioning in the NFL Draft order.
Quarterback Mac Jones missed several opportunities to create explosive plays and the Jaguars continuously shot themselves in the foot, losing two fumbles and drawing eight penalties for 60 yards. The lowest moment came on Jacksonville’s final drive where running back Travis Etienne converted on fourth and one, only for the run to get negated by a holding penalty and Jones to check the ball down on fourth and 11.
