The Jacksonville Jaguars made a splash in Week 1. Such a big splash, in fact, that we're writing about them and it's mostly positive.
They made a conscious effort this offseason to retool the identity of their football team, focusing on defense and the run. This new identity worked better than even they probably could have hoped against the Houston Texans.
Jacksonville recorded 10 sacks, holding the combination of Tom Savage and Deshaun Watson to just 4.6 yards per attempt, the best performance against the pass in the season’s opening week.
