A revamped Jacksonville Jaguars defense and budding young offense showed they have improved enough to battle against the elite quarterbacks in the league.
They still haven’t done quite enough to beat one.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers broke out of an early rut to throw two touchdowns and run for another as the Packers did just enough Sunday to stave off a late Jaguars rally and win 27-23 at EverBank Field.
The Jaguars had a shot to pull off the upset of the day when they forced Green Bay to go three-and-out and regained possession with 3:17 remaining in the fourth quarter.
