3 truths and 2 lies from the Jaguars frustrating loss to the Chiefs

Truth 2: The Jaguars offensive line is a potential cause for concern

It's been established that there were many reasons the Jaguars couldn't get anything going offensively in Week 2. Here's another one, one that deserved its own entry and that's the offensive line. Against the Colts, they did a good job of protecting Trevor Lawrence but couldn't open lanes in the running game. In Week 2, they couldn't do either.

Early in the game, they wanted to establish the run, getting Travis Etienne involved in the game plan. You knew the strategy wasn't working when he was averaging less than 2.0 yards per carry. Jacksonville then turned to Trevor Lawrence and the passing game but they also failed to move the ball.

Lawrence certainly deserves some of the blame on a day he wasn't particularly accurate. In fact, he went 0-of-7 in red zone attempts. However, putting all the blame on his shoulders may not be fair, especially when you take into account that his offensive linemen struggled to give him optimal protection throughout the game.

Walker Little was the sole Jaguars offensive lineman who didn't give up a pressure in Week 2. Meanwhile, Brandon Scherff, Anton Harrison, Luke Fortner, and Ben Bartch gave up three each. Being consistently under pressure, Lawrence was forced to get rid of the ball faster than he would've liked, and before routes were fully developed. This led to an average of 4.3 yards per throw.

It's fair to say that the offensive line has their work cut out for Week 3 when the Houston Texans come to town.
