Jacksonville Jaguars vs Green Bay Packers: Running game can determine outcome

In the preseason, Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon looked every bit like the one-two punch the Jacksonville Jaguars need in order to win games in 2016. Ivory and Yeldon are both difficult backs to bring down and can punish defenders for their mistakes and for even trying to tackle them.

The resurgence of the running game (not yet tested in the 2016 season) is a big reason the Jaguars can be competitive in 2016. Without it the team is a one-dimensional passing attack behind mistake-prone quarterback Blake Bortles. With it, the Jaguars are balanced and a threat in both offensive attacks.
