Jaguars vs. Colts: 3 keys to a Jaguars victory

The Jags must put some heat on Jacoby Brissett as they have in the past this Sunday, because if they do, it could result in a big win.

On the other side, the Jaguars need to do everything possible to contain Colts running back Marlon Mack.

The Colts have been persistent on force-feeding Mack the ball as he has 106 rushing attempts for 415 yards and a touchdown throughout his last five games. However, he isn’t a primary focus in the passing game as he only has 12 receptions on the entire year for 76 yards.

The Jaguars have not been sharp in their rush defense as they rank No. 28 in opponent yards per carry, giving up 4.9 yards per play in the category.

Limiting Mack’s heavy usage could go a long way in preventing the defense from getting completely gashed on long runs, which is Something that the Jaguars have struggled with this season.
