Back from the bye and looking to make some noise, the Chargers face the Jaguars, a team they’ve beat six consecutive times dating back to 2010. The 2017 Jaguars, however, are no joke.
The Jags currently boast the league’s third-best defense, having only allowed 281.2 points per game so far this season. They rank first in pass defense thanks to the play of corners Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. Jacksonville also leads the league in total sacks with 35. Free-agent acquisition Calais Campbell (league-leading 11 sacks) is having an All-Pro year.
On offense, rookie rusher Leonard Fournette, who hasn’t played in three weeks (injury, bye week and coach’s decision) leads the Jags’ top-ranked rushing attack.
