In a scene that has become all too familiar with the Jacksonville Jaguars, they suffered another crushing loss at home this time to the Los Angeles Chargers by the score of 45-10. The Jaguars were absolutely dominated from start to finish leading only once in the first quarter.
The Chargers came into the game having lost their last three, while the Jaguars the Jaguars were enduring some struggles of their own, suffering four consecutive games with a loss of 17 points or more.
Sunday’s loss dropped the Jaguars to 4-9 on the year with zero hopes of a playoff push and an eye towards building for next year.
While we wait on the offseason to graciously come, let’s breakdown the game versus the Chargers. Here are the good, the bad and the ugly moments from Sunday’s matchup against the Chargers:
The good: Another week, another broken franchise record
The season hasn’t gone the way that Jaguars fans had hoped but they are continuing to make their mark in the franchise’s record book.
Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew II set the rookie passing touhsdown record with his 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Nick O’Leary for his 15th touchdown on the season:

With only three games left in the season and a firm grip on the starting quarterback position, Minshew could easily extend that streak to 20 touchdowns. It appears as though he’ll be allowed to play out the season and could potentially catch fire down the stretch.
