The Jaguars head to London and crush the Baltimore Ravens

THERE WAS ONE QUESTION IN THE MINDS OF THE JAGUAR FAITHFUL THIS WEEK.  WHICH TEAM WILL SHOW UP?  THE JAGS ANSWERED THAT QUESTION WITH ONE OF THEIR BEST PERFORMANCES EVER!

It was obvious from the very first snap that the Jacksonville Jaguars team that played the Tennessee Titans did not travel to London.  The team that traveled to London was  the team that played the Houston Texans only better.  The offense put on a performance for the ages and the defense played lights out the entire game.  This victory wasn’t against a poor team.  It was versus the 2-0 Baltimore Ravens.  I doubt if anyone saw this coming.  Also, it proves that the Jaguars are not a predictable team.  That will be in our favor down the road.

KUDOS FOR THE OFFENSE

The much maligned offense played like a professional football offense.  First,  Blake Bortles had four touchdown passes and was under minimal pressure much of the day.  The play calls were a recipe for success.  There were passes called on first down!  Bortles looked sharp and in control.

Next was the overall play of Leonard Fournette.  His statistics may not show the whole picture but he made a huge contribution to the victory.  He is able to be an effective receiver out of the backfield.  But most important he runs downhill. When the opposing team stacks the line against the run he manages positive yardage.

Last but not least was Marcedes Lewis.  Lewis must have taken a drink from the Fountain of Youth because he had three touchdown catches.  Jaguar fans  feel proud of our longtime tight end.

CHEERS FOR THE DEFENSE

The Jaguars defense basically pitched a shut out.  The Ravens score was after the fact.  Additionally, it was a total team effort.  The Ravens QB Joe Flacco was under pressure all game.  The running game had over 100 yards but it was never really a factor.  There were two timely interceptions by two different players. The entire defense brought energy and excitement to the game.

WRAP UP

Jaguar fans felt excitement, pride, relief, and just plain happiness throughout the game.  To start the fake punt was amazing. Also Myles Jack made a fantastic open field tackle. Next,  Bortles looked like an NFL quarterback.  In addition, our defense looked like a top of the line NFL defense.  In conclusion, our only question is “which team will show up next week?”
