The entire Jacksonville Jaguars offense isn’t 100 percent reliant on running back Chris Ivory. Still, his presence has been proven to be important.
Without him, the Jaguars have amassed just 117 yards on the ground (30th in the NFL). 36 of those yards are from quarterback Blake Bortles while T.J. Yeldon (who is a “co-starter” with Ivory) has contributed just 67 yards on 28 carries (2.4 yards per carry).
The running game has been stalled since the start of the season. Yeldon isn’t producing like his rookie year, when he averaged over four yards per carry.
