Last week: 32 (+0)
Record: 1-5
Jacksonville is by far the worst team in the league despite their near win in Oakland and it’s not even close. Their yards per play differential is -1.6. No one else is worse than -1.1. Their rate of sustaining drives differential is -16.8%. No one else is worse than -11.2%. Even against Oakland in their near win, they had half as many first downs as Oakland and managed a measly 3.4 yards per play to Oakland’s 4.7. Chad Henne somehow seems to actually be worse than Blaine Gabbert and I didn’t even think that was possible. Gabbert is expected to play this week against Green Bay, which means they’ll lose by only 25 instead of 30.
Also bad news, Maurice Jones-Drew is out indefinitely. He is their best player by far. Last year, he accounted for 47.7% of their yards from scrimmage, most since 1974. This year, he was at 39.9% heading into last week’s game. As good as Rashad Jennings looked in the preseason, he managed just 44 yards on 21 carries last week against an Oakland run defense that was allowing 4.4 YPC coming in, which would have been 23rd in the league this week. They now rank 8th because of Jennings’ terrible game.
