JACKSONVILLE’S BEST PUSHBACK
Offense Is Jacksonville’s Only Close Fight
Jacksonville's offense gives the team one place to push back. The Jaguars are only 0.2 points behind New England in Offense, but that is where Jacksonville's case ends. New England still has Drake Maye at quarterback and Mike Vrabel leading the coaching staff, two advantages the Jaguars cannot match in this comparison.
