The Jacksonville Jaguars got a much needed win on Sunday against an underwhelming Chicago Bears squad and it wasn’t easy. After marching down the field with ease on the opening drive, the Jaguars squandered an opportunity to get up early with a costly interception by quarterback Blake Bortles (although the fault for the turnover is almost entirely on wide receiver Allen Robinson). After that, the offense stunk it up for the rest of the first half, registering a measly 13 yards after the first drive.
