The Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the Carolina Panthers in week 1, walking away with an easy 26-10 victory. Their win never looked to be in doubt, and the team seemed to roll easily over Bryce Young and company.
While the offense had its flashes—especially running back Travis Etienne Jr.—it was the defense that truly stood out, snatching two interceptions, recovering a forced fumble, and earning two turnovers on downs.
The Jaguars' defense has plenty of storylines, perhaps none was as overlooked as the performance of star defensive end Josh Hines-Allen. On the surface, his stat line against the Carolina Panthers was unimpressive—zero sacks and only one quarterback hit—but when you dig deeper, one often ignored metric proves just how dominant he was on the field.
