Jaguars continue to drop into the abyss in new NFL Rankings

The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to slide in FanSided.com’s NFL power rankings.

I’m not sure the mighty have fallen, but after their performance this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Jacksonville Jaguars fell once again in FanSided.com’s most recent NFL Power Rankings. After being a spot ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to their game this weekend at 24, the team from North Florida that lost to the team from West Florida dropped all the way to 30th overall.

Only the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Giants are worse than the Jaguars, who have now lost four straight and have once again made a change at the quarterback position.

"“Doug Marrone’s team was in quite the slump when it hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Jaguars had dropped consecutive games to the Texans, Colts, and Titans, respectively, by a combined score of 101-36,” Russell Baxter wrote.“The team had also dropped each of those contests by at least 20 points. And the home club found itself down 25-0 after 30 minutes due in large to three turnovers by quarterback Nick Foles, one of those a fumble returned for a touchdown. He was benched in place of rookie Gardner Minshew, who provided a brief spark. But the duo was sacked a combined five times and each threw an interception on a four-turnover day for Marrone’s team.”"

It wasn’t pretty by any means and despite the 11 points the rookie from Washington State rallied the team to score in the second half of the game, the Buccaneers dominated this game in the first half to the point there was no way to come back from such a huge deficit.

Minshew will be under center when the team hosts the Los Angeles Chargers next week. Just a side note to the 4 PM game. Anthony Lynn, the Chargers head coach was Jacksonville’s running backs coach from 2003-2004. The Chargers defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley, was the head coach here in Jacksonville from 2013-2016 and was replaced by Marrone on an interim and then permanent basis.

"“The Jaguars host the Los Angeles Chargers for the second time in three years as these clubs square off for the sixth time in seven seasons dating back to 2013,” adds Baxter. “Two seasons ago, Marrone’s team came away with a wild 20-17 overtime win over Anthony Lynn’s squad. Jacksonville owns a 3-7 lifetime record in this short-lived setting.”"
