Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Green Bay Packers: Week 10 keys to victory

The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the 6-2 Green Bay Packers in week 10.

The Jaguars have had an unfortunate 1-7 start to their 2020 season. While Jacksonville is looking at a top-five draft pick, they have a lot of potential on this team and might as well see what they can do to finish off the season. There are three biggest keys to victory for Jacksonville at this point

Jaguars keys to victory starts with the pass rush…

Pass rush

The Jaguars’ pass rush is going to have to step it up if they want to stop Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been sacked only nine times this season and Jacksonville only has eight total sacks on the season altogether. Rodgers knows who to get the ball out timely and efficiently so the jaguars defense is going to have to find a way to put pressure on the Packers’ offensive line and break open the pocket.

Jake Luton

After starting his first game in week nine against the Houston Texans, rookie quarterback Jake Luton will start again against Green Bay in week 10. He had a very solid first start throwing for 304 yards, 68.42%, one touchdown, and one interception.

Luton showed incredible promise as a young developing quarterback. He had good poise and was comfortable leading the offense down the field. Despite losing by two points, the Jaguars beat the Texans in passing first downs and rushing first downs.

Luton helped the Jaguars find the spark that they needed to move forward. If he can learn and improve from his already solid performance last week, they very well could have a good chance to outplay Green Bay this week.

Running game

James Robinson is a major factor in Jacksonville’s gameplan every week. Undrafted in 2020, Robinson is sixth in rushing yards through nine weeks and is tied for seventh in touchdowns on the year. Since the Jaguars have a young quarterback at the helm, prioritizing the run game is smart. But also ensuring a balanced run and passing game is also important.
