5 Jaguars players whose stock is up following the Jaguars win vs. the Titans
• Both the offense and the defense showed up
• Here are 5 players who had a role in the win
A loss in itself may not reveal much about an NFL team's makeup but you can learn a lot from the way they respond to one. In Week 11, the Jacksonville Jaguars showed they had put their loss to the San Francisco 49ers behind them, beating the Tennessee Titans 34-14.
Both the offense and the defense did their job. Trevor Lawrence and the offense built momentum early on and took advantage of their opportunity to score. Moreover, they didn't turn the ball over a single time. The defense, for their part, didn't stop bringing the heat and forcing rookie Will Levis into making mistakes. Mike Caldwell's unit ended up registering two sacks and recovering a fumble.
Having wide receiver Zay Jones back in the mix certainly gave the offense a huge boost, but he's not the only player who contributed to the win. In fact, these five also had a huge role.
No. 5 Jaguars player whose stock is up after the win vs. the Titans: Brandon McManus
At this point, you may be wondering why Brandon McManus keeps getting recognition on a weekly basis. The reason is simple, he hasn't missed a field goal since Week 3, when Jacksonville dropped their second game of the season Since then, McManus has been Mr. Automatic, going 13-of-13. He completed his two attempts against the Titans.
You could argue that there've been more valuable players for the Jaguars this season, and you may be right. But you can't overlook the fact that McManus has delivered when called upon, whether Jacksonville wins or loses.
