The ugly: Addressing the penalty problem

Penalties have been a thorn in the Jaguars side this season.

The Jaguars will enter Week 11 tied at the No. 10 spot in terms of penalties, with 70 enforced penalties to their names.

One striking statistic is that the bulk of the penalties come from the offensive line, as the Jaguars lead the league in holding calls with 19. The Jaguars’ offensive line has struggled tremendously in pass protection as Jaguars center Brandon Linder is their highest graded lineman, per Pro Football focus, coming in with a 63.0 grade.

The Colts are one of the least penalized teams coming in at the fourth-lowest amount of penalties with 53. Simply put, this means the Jaguars will have to play more disciplined football if they look to take down their rivals.
