For years, the Jaguars have undergone franchise-wide changes with the goal of entering the final month of the season getting ready to play meaningful games instead of crunching the numbers to project their draft position.
This December would have been one of those relevant stretch runs had the Jaguars only taken care of the lost-six-in-a-row, coach-was-on-the-hot-seat San Diego Chargers Sunday.
Win, keep pace with Indianapolis and Houston in the AFC South and keep things in their control.
Instead, the Jaguars of late November decided to play like the Jaguars of late September, losing to the Chargers 31-25 at sun-splashed and boo-filled EverBank Field.
