The Jags’ lack of discipline

With Sunday’s game being a divisional game, it could be a close one where the smallest self-inflicted mistakes could cost either team. If that’s the case, the Colts have the edge as they are the fourth-least penalized team in the NFL with a total of 53 penalties registered to their names for 461 yards. The Jags, however, are ranked 11th in terms of penalties with 70 for 608 yards. That number would likely be higher had they not had their bye week last week.

Entering the second half of their schedule, the Jags will need to erase the self-inflicted mistakes that have hurt them in the first half of the season, because if they don’t, their playoff hopes will be short-lived. Their offensive line, in particular, is going to have to be more disciplined, as they account for 29 of the team’s penalties heading into Week 11. That may be easier said than done in a battle that will ultimately be won in the trenches between these two rivals.
