The Jacksonville Jaguars decided the best way to beat the New England Patriots yesterday was to turn Blake Bortles loose to the tune of 45 pass attempts (and several additional scrambles that would have been passes had the receiver been there).
That’s a lot of pass attempts and a number Blake only reaches about twice in a given season. Surely with that many drop backs there would be some sacks, right?
Right?
Bueller?
Nope.
Zero sacks. Blake went back to pass 45 times and rushed out of a pass play six additional times and wasn’t sacked once.
