There are many reasons the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. Penalties was one of them. You cannot win games on a consistent basis when you routinely shot yourself in the foot.
Against Los Angeles, it didn't matter that the Jags had more total yards. They committed 13 penalties for 119 yards. Granted, a few of them were headstratching, including the unnecessary roughness Andrew Wingard got flagged for. However, the team as a whole lacks execution, and that willl hold them back as long as they don't clean up the issue.
