Jags bench Nick Foles in favor of Gardner Minshew in second half vs. Bucs

After another poor day by Nick Foles, the Jags have turned back to Gardner Minshew II against the Bucs.

The Jacksonville Jaguars apparently have seen enough of Nick Foles, who has been struggling since returning from collarbone surgery and turned the ball over three times against the Tampa Bay Bucs Sunday. As a result, they benched the veteran during the second half of Week 13’s game and put in Gardner Minshew II to try and propel the Jags from their 25-0 deficit.

Foles, who returned Week 11 against the Indianapolis Colts, could never find his rhythm and all of the Jags’ game since have been blowouts. That said, it appears Doug Marrone felt a change was and spark was needed.

Minshew took the NFL by storm this season, winning six Pepsi Rookie of the Week awards. He was able to garner a 4-4 record while starting and was 188-of-307 (61.2%) for 2,285 yards, 14 touchdowns and four picks before Foles replaced him.
