Jacksonville Jaguars: 3 studs and 3 duds from Week 10’s loss
player. 52. . . . C.J. Henderson, cornerback. 1
The Jacksonville Jaguars had good production from their cornerbacks.
This could have been Sidney Jones or C.J. Henderson, but we’ll go with the rookie on this one. Jones has been mostly solid since he moved to Jacksonville and even though he gave up a touchdown, he played well against the Packers and finished the game with two pass deflections, nine total tackles, and one interception.
As impressive as Jones was, Henderson showed he can recover from bad performances and played well at Lambeau Field after struggling last week. The Florida standout forced a fumble, recorded three solo tackles, and defended one pass. That’s the kind of play the team’s brass expected when they used the ninth overall pick in 2020’s draft.
52. . . . James Robinson, running back. 2. player
The Jaguars struggled defensively, but don’t make running back James Robinson shoulder the blame. If anything, the rookie didn’t get the ball enough. He carried the ball 23 times for 109 yards and averaged 4-7 yards per carry. After this performance, he should be in the run for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. The Illinois State standout has quickly established himself as a staple of the Jaguars running game.
Jaguars must address these positions in 2021. dark. Next
Keelan Cole, wide receiver. 3. player. 52. . .
It didn’t matter that the Jaguars were without Laviska Shenault or that D.J. Chark was heavily covered, wide receiver Keelan Cole answered the call in Week 11. First, he returned a 90-yard punt for a touchdown, the longest in team history.
Cole wasn’t done and later scored the only receiving touchdown of the Jaguars on Sunday, a 12-yard reception from Jake Luton. The team’s passing game was mostly dormant against the Packers, but when they needed the veteran receiver, he stepped up.
