Heading into the 2016 regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars looked like a team that was going to be driven by a high-powered offense. After a breakout year in 2015, quarterback Blake Bortles looked ready to take the next step along with the litany of skill position players around him. With so many new and young pieces needing time to gel together and get acclimated with newly designated defensive coordinator Todd Wash, it was understandable for most to expect the offense to carry the defense through the first leg of the schedule.
Well so far the offense has been a disappointment and the defense has been a pleasant surprise.
