Blake Bortles has a nice night in his first preseason outing, completing 11 of 15 passes for over 100 yards and capped it all off with a rushing touchdown.
It’s the kind of night that the Jacksonville Jaguars desperately needed to see in a game situation from their young quarterback and, fortunately, he delivered.
Now let’s keep in mind that this is just the preseason and accomplishments against non-starters shouldn’t be weighed too heavily, but the improvement displayed by Bortles was so terrific that it is clear he is on the rise and worth noting.
