Bye weeks are a great opportunity for players to rest and recover from any bumps and bruises that they have obtained during the season. They also allow for teams to regroup, reevaluate, and make necessary changes to help improve the team. The Jaguars have made some big changes, most notably one that isn’t truly needed but one that does have a bit of controversy behind it.
That change obviously is the decision to go with Nick Foles at quarterback instead of the rookie Gardner Minshew. In this circumstance, the Jaguars didn’t need to make a change but they felt as though Foles’ veteran leadership and experience would help the Jaguars make a push for the playoffs.
