With four sacks and 2.5 sacks, Yannick Ngakoue and Dante Fowler Jr. lead the Jacksonville Jaguars in a critical category. They’re the pass rushing defensive ends that the Jaguars desperately need in order for the defense to function.
But those combined 6.5 sacks just aren’t enough. The demand for consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks, of which sacks is a proxy measurement, isn’t being met.
In particular, the streaks in which the sacks have come is noticeable. Fowler had two sacks in Week 2 against the San Diego Chargers then had a dry spell until Week 9 when he picked up a half sack.
