T.J. Yeldon missed the Week 6 game against the Houston Texans and there was a marked effect on the Jacksonville Jaguars offense.
Yeldon, who was one of the better runners in the NFL through five weeks, missed his first game of his career and the Jaguars floundered trying to run the ball behind 2014 starter Denard Robinson and Toby “Two-Yard” Gerhart.
Gerhart finished the day with 26 yards on nine carries, averaging below three yards per carry. Robinson was equally disappointing, providing just 19 yards on seven carries.
Of the 83 rushing yards in the game for the Jaguars, 37 of them came from quarterback Blake Bortles off four scrambles.
