As we have outlined over the week, this game against the Chargers is a game to measure progress and a game to get revenge. Most importantly, however, it’s a game to win.
The Jaguars have a real chance to claw back to .500 in Week 2 and make sure they don’t fall too far behind in Gus Bradley’s fourth season as the head coach of the Jaguars. The Chargers game the year before led to a late-season collapse that kept the Jags out of contention.
Now, a win can ensure the Jags remain in contention for the 2016 season and, possibly, the offseason.
