3rd drive – Starting from the Jaguars’ 4:
Play 1: Werner beats Sam Young. Bortles does not feel the pressure, fumbles the ball. The safety is avoided because of a Colts penalty.
Play 2: Quick pass to Shorts, 6 yard gain.
Play 3: Very nice throw to Shorts for 7 yards, resulted in a 1st down.
Play 4: Check his receivers, throws to Hurns, but the play is broken up.
Play 5: A little pressure, Bortles leans backward when throws, but enough to zip on the ball. Sadly it ends up as an interception.
Conclusion of the 3rd drive: Better pocket passing, but needs to step into the throw.
