The Jacksonville Jaguars run the ball less than any other team in the NFL. Unsurprisingly, they’re also the third-worst team in raw rushing yards. Through seven games that is clearly a trend that needs to be corrected.
New offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett needs to change that for the good of the team. More importantly, he needs to change it to get some wins on the board.
The Jags running backs, T.J. Yeldon and Chris Ivory, are talented but they need to prove they can run it against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs will be content to let the Jacksonville Jaguars throw the ball with turnover prone quarterback Blake Bortles.
