Jaguars licking their chops for Chargers matchup that may ignite pass rush

Despite having some big names on the defensive line, the Jacksonville Jaguars have struggled all season to bring the opposing quarterback down. Even after signing edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen to a five-year, $150 million contract in April of 2024, the Jags have seen a steady decline in performance from the fan-favorite. He went from a 17.5 sack season in 2023 to eight sacks in 2024. This year, he's looking to hit four, if he's lucky.

Before that, defensive end Travon Walker was drafted No. 1 overall in 2022, with then-general manager taking him over Aiden Hutchinson.
