After 10 days of hype to build themselves up as a playoff contender following a Thursday night win against the Tennessee Titans, the Jacksonville Jaguars laid an egg in a ho-hum loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Favored for the second week in a row, the Jaguars couldn’t capitalize against a fledgling Chargers squad that had lost 6 straight games leading up to this showdown. Philip Rivers got back on track as he meticulously and methodically decimated the Jacksonville secondary. The Jaguars pass rush has been an issue all season, but this was a whole-scale failure on defense, with every facet at fault for this performance.
