Doug Marrone explains passing near goal line on third and fourth down

The Jacksonville Jaguars made several curious decisions on offense against the Kansas City Chiefs — moving away from the run early, force-feeding Donte Moncrief and Niles Paul the majority of targets — and one such situation came in the second quarter with Jacksonville driving and in Kansas City territory.

Down just 10-0, the Jaguars found themselves at the tail end of their first legitimate offensive drive. They were 11 plays and 72 yards in, getting down within three yards of the end zone.

It was 3rd-and-1 and Blake Bortles threw a jump ball to Donte Moncrief, a catch he’s not known for making, and it fell incomplete.
