The 2019 NFL season is just a few weeks away, so Andy Benoit makes a few predictions for each NFL team. Today he examines the Jacksonville Jaguars, who finished 5–11 and last in the AFC South in 2018.
The defense bounces back, to a point. Adding first-round edge rusher Josh Allen from Kentucky opposite the unheralded Yannick Ngakoue and alongside veteran Calais Campbell reignites this four-man rush, leading to more of the sacks and turnovers that this group missed out on last year. Losses at linebacker and safety, however, keep Jacksonville from being as dominant as they were in 2017.
