JACKSONVILLE — In what could be his final two months on the job, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is making changes.
Marrone started rookie quarterback Jake Luton over backup Mike Glennon, benched 2018 first-round draft bust Taven Bryan and planned to use dynamic receiver Laviska Shenault in a variety of ways before the rookie pulled a hamstring in the first quarter against Houston. Jacksonville also blitzed more (17 times) than it has in any game this season.
None of those moves helped end the team’s skid, though. The Jaguars (1-7) dropped their seventh consecutive game, 27-25 to the rival Texans on Sunday, and inched closer to their ninth losing season in the past 10 years.
