Blake Bortles was largely ineffective despite a career-high 430

yards passing against Kansas City. His offensive line was the biggest problem.The Jacksonville Jaguars failed to give Bortles enough time or protection in a 30-14 loss at the Chiefs on Sunday. Bortles was sacked five times Womens D.J. Hayden Jersey , fumbling once, and hurried way more often.According to Pro Football Focus, Jacksonville’s line allowed 24 total quarterback pressures — seven more than any other NFL team in Week 5.“We take an immense amount of pride in our work,” backup left tackle Josh Walker said Monday. “That’s going to be the goal of our group this week: to be more determined to be better and do a better job in protecting Blake. We’ve got to keep him clean. That’s our job and that’s what we’re going to do.“We’re fine. We’re not worried about things. We’re going to fix things.”More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars expect DE Yannick Ngakoue’s holdout to be short-livedJaguars rookie safety Zedrick Woods submits retirement paperworkJalen Ramsey says Jaguars don’t plan to give him contract extension this seasonJaguars sign former UCF running back Taj McGowan for added depthJaguars QB Nick Foles to miss OTAs for undisclosed ‘personal reason’The Jaguars (3-2) might have to make some roster changes to find help.Left tackle Josh Wells has a groin injury that could cause him to miss Sunday’s game at Dallas (2-3), and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins is headed to injured reserve and will have core muscle surgery.Coach Doug Marrone said Wells is “week to week” and Seferian-Jenkins is expected to return later in the year.Running back Corey Grant (foot) also is done for the season, joining Leonard Fournette on the sideline. Fournette is expected to miss his fourth game of the season because of a sprained right hamstring.The Jaguars are planning to sign a running back and likely will do the same at left tackle.“When you add and you’re missing some key players, you have to play to the strengths of what they can do,” Marrone said. “It is a challenge for us, but there are teams that go through those same challenges. It’s going to be on us as coaches to do a good job of putting in the right plays, going to the right people and being able to go and execute it.”The O-line was Jacksonville’s weak link last year, failing to create holes for Fournette in the second half of the season.The Jags thought signing All-Pro left guard Andrew Norwell to a five-year, $66.5 million contract in free agency would solidify the front. But Norwell has been average Cody Kessler Jersey , at best, while playing alongside three different left tackles: Cam Robinson, Wells and Walker. Robinson is out for the season with a knee injury.“We need to trust in each other,” Wells said. “The expectation level is still going to remain high. We need to put our head down and go back to work.”The Jaguars essentially abandoned the running game after falling behind 20-0 late in the second quarter. That put a lot of pressure on Bortles and even more stress on the line, which really struggled against speedy linebacker Dee Ford.Bortles completed 33 of 61 passes, with one touchdown and four interceptions.“Everyone is in a tough situation,” Marrone said. “You turn around the next day (and) you want to run the football. Looking back, maybe we started throwing it a little too early. Maybe we just were pressing too much early. … You’re always going to look at that and you’re not going to sit here and say that, ‘Hey, we’re a team that wants to throw the ball 60-something times.'” JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars are finished with the “Payback Tour.”Now it’s on to a tougher challenge, a more high-profile matchup.The Jaguars (3-1) will play at Kansas City (3-0) next week — a game that features the league’s top defense against one of the league’s most potent offenses.“We pride ourselves on being a really good defense so this is a great challenge for us http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-nick-foles-jersey ,” defensive end Calais Campbell said following a 31-12 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday. “We know they’ve got firepower everywhere. Everywhere. I’m looking forward to the challenge. This defense, we believe in ourselves, so this is an opportunity for us to go and see what happens.”The Jaguars have put together four impressive defensive outings to start the season, allowing 324 yards against the New York Giants in the opener and then getting better every week since.New England (302 yards), Tennessee (233) and the New York Jets (178) scored a combined three touchdowns against Jacksonville’s vaunted defense. Two of those came off turnovers. New England’s first touchdown in Week 2 followed DJ Chark’s fumble near midfield, and the Jets’ lone touchdown Sunday also was gifted. T.J. Yeldon fumbled at the Jacksonville 29-yard line. Trumaine Johnson scooped it up and returned it to the 5 .Sam Darnold connected with Jordan Leggett in the back of the end zone three plays later.The Jets managed little else.The Chiefs should be more difficult to cover, between speedster Tyreek Hill, fellow receiver Sammy Watkins, tight end Travis Kelce, running back Kareem Hunt and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.“The secondary welcomes these games,” Jaguars safety Barry Church said. “We know they’re going to throw the ball all over the place, so as a secondary we’ve got to go out there Youth Marqise Lee Jerseys , prove that we’re one of top secondaries.“They have options at every level like slot, outside receiver, tight end, running back and a quarterback that can throw it a hundred yards so that’s going to be a great challenge for us. But I think we have the players that will step up and be ready for the challenge.”Jacksonville had plenty of motivation the last four weeks: top executive Tom Coughlin’s first game against his former team (Giants), a rematch of the AFC title game (Patriots), a division game against the only team that swept the Jags in 2017 (Titans) and a third consecutive home game against the team that snubbed Doug Marrone for its head coaching job in 2015.Next up are the high-powered Chiefs.“We’ve got another game, a great team we’re playing next week,” Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue said. “We’ve got KC, and that’s what our focus is on now. Like I said, we’ve got to this win, enjoy it now. It’s in the past.”Here are some other things to know following Jacksonville’s win over the Jets:FOURNETTE OUTJacksonville’s biggest concern is the health of running back Leonard Fournette, who re-injured his strained right hamstring after missing the last two games. Fournette ran 11 times for 30 yards before leaving for good.“Anytime you come back and you’re ready to go and then all of a sudden you get injured again Jawaan Taylor Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , it’s not a good sign,” Marrone said.MESSAGE SENT?Marrone insisted he followed the chart, calling for a 2-point conversion after a fourth-down touchdown run in the final seconds of a lopsided game. Few believed him.Marrone was seemingly sending a message to the Jets , the team that passed on him three years ago and hired Todd Bowles.“He doesn’t like those guys,” Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. “I don’t know what they did to him, but he doesn’t like them.”Marrone said he had no hidden agenda or extra motivation, which was hard to believe considering he took a subtle shot at Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson in late August.DARNOLD STRUGGLESJets rookie Sam Darnold was harassed early and often , getting sacked three times and nearly throwing three interceptions.Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 167 yards. He got little help since the 1-2 punch of Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell combined for 26 yards rushing.“We’ve got to make plays that were there,” Darnold said. “I’ve got to make throws that are there and not think too much, take what they give me and we’ll start to find completions and get into a rhythm.”
