Cody Kessler takes the reins of the Jaguars offense

It’s a situation that had to happen. The Jacksonville Jaguars needed a change at quarterback, a spark on offense. In comes backup now named starter Cody Kessler with a chance to do something that has not been done in eight weeks – win a game for the home team on Sunday.

As good a teammate Blake Bortles has been here in Jacksonville, winning has been something that has eluded him and this franchise more often than not. And while 2017 showed the fifth-year player could perform well within the system, the 2018 campaign has been as bad if not worse than 2016 when Bortles seemed to be at his worst.
