You kept waiting for Blake Bortles to have his signature moment. After all, even in games where the Jaguars’ quarterback threw ghastly interceptions or struggled to find a rhythm, he managed to provide his share of highlights.
An EverBank Field crowd of 60,121 and a national television audience had every reason to expect Bortles could deliver big plays against the AFC South cellar-dweller Tennessee Titans.
It never materialized, and the result looked like it might lead to the most deflating loss in a 2015 season filled with them.
Somehow, the Jaguars managed to survive another close game — the first time in two years they won back-to-back contests — because Bortles was given one last chance to redeem himself late in the fourth quarter by Rashad Greene’s 63-yard punt return to the Titans’ 5-yard line.
