EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. | One of these stinkin’ years, the Jaguars are going to learn to do the little things necessary to become a respectable franchise, even a Super Bowl contender.
It’s bound to happen, right? The law of averages says no team can feel tortured forever, though the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions have made a splendid run at defying that logic.
What we do know is the Jaguars can’t begin to emerge from the NFL abyss until they execute basic plays in crucial moments. The Jaguars’ terrible habit of making simple tasks more difficult than they should be bit them in the backside again Sunday, resulting in a 28-23 loss to the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
