5. Jacksonville Jaguars, all meow no bite
Jaguars fans are growing tired of hoping that their team will finally make a breakthrough in the AFC South. Since 2011, the Jaguars have had five different head coaches. The team has not finished better than third in the division since that season.
In 2016, Jacksonville pulled up the rear in the division and managed only three wins. It was a disappointing campaign after the team went through some extensive offseason moves to improve.
Quarterback Blake Bortles was under a spotlight all season, showing a tremendous level of regression in the process. He passed for only 3,905 yards and 16 touchdowns compared to 4,428 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2015. Along the way he tossed 16 interceptions. Jacksonville’s offense ranked 23rd as a result.
On defense, the Jags ceded an average of 25 points per game to opposing teams.
The positive here for the Jags is they play within a division that is not easily dominated by another team. Why they constantly fail to take advantage is another issue.
