Calais Campbell: ‘I still believe in Blake’

Shortly after the Jacksonville Jaguars lost 20-7 to the Houston Texans in a game that included the starting quarterback being benched, the leading running back gaining 28 yards on the ground, and four sacks on backup quarterback Cody Kessler, veteran defensive players Calais Campbell and Telvin Smith called a players-only meeting.

Typically, these meetings are meant to act as a sort of reset during a watershed time in the season, a Come-to-Jesus moment if you will.

After emerging from the meeting, Campbell was asked about the decision between Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler.
