Blake Bortles took his first regular season snaps in a blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts in 2014. Chad Henne looked completely inept and Bortles came in to prove that the offense could actually move the ball more than five yards.
Those first few drives to his career showed what kind of player we could all expect from Bortles. From 0-30 at halftime to 17-44 at the end of the game, we learned a lot about Blake Bortles.
His first drives ended like this:
- Punt, Bortles went 1/6 for 21 yards
- Field Goal, Bortles went 1/3 for 26 yards
- Interception, Bortles went 2/5 for 13 yards
- Touchdown, Bortles went 3/3 for 82 yards and the touchdown
- Interception, Bortles went 2/4 for 21 yards
- Touchdown, Bortles went 5/5 for 57 yards and the touchdown
Already down by multiple scores when he entered the game, Bortles could go for bust whenever he wanted.
