The Jags currently rank 27 in the league with an average of 7.8 penalties per game. This is actually an improvement from last season when the team ranked 31. However there is still room to grow in this category.
These penalties have impacted the team in several ways. On offense the casual holding or false start penalty has begun to impact drives. The Jags offense looks to get ahead of the chains with strong rushes on first and second down. Add in the odd penalty and this places the Jags in the predictable situation of passing the football.
