Two weeks ago, the Jaguars dropped an AFC South game, 26-3, against the Texans. Gardner Minshew completed 27 of 47 passes for 309 yards, two interceptions, and was sacked four times. Following a bye week last week, Minshew Mania has come to an end and the quarterback reins have been handed back over to Nick Foles. Minshew started the previous eight games after Foles suffered a broken clavicle in Week 1. Can Foles, who led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2017, give this offense a spark and a much needed divisional win? Leonard Fournette will have to run much better than he did against the Texans, who held him to a season-low 40 yards on the ground.
Defensively, the Jaguars have key pieces at each level. Calais Campbell had five tackles and the games only sack against the Texans, while linebacker Myles Jack and cornerback A.J. Bouye each had seven tackles in the game. The unit held Deshaun Watson to 201 yards and two touchdowns passing, but it was the run game that hurt them. Carlos Hyde tallied 160 yards on 19 carries. The defense is ranked 22nd against the run (120.2 YPG) and will face another tough back this weekend with the Colts’ Marlon Mack.
Indianapolis looked like a playoff team at 5-2, but has since dropped two straight contests, a 26-24 loss against the Steelers and a 16-12 loss against the Miami Dolphins. Brian Hoyer started at quarterback in place of the injured Jacoby Brissett. Hoyer threw for 204 yards, one touchdown and a costly three interceptions. They will evaluate Brissett, who suffered a sprained MCL against the Steelers, this week at practice and hope he will be ready to go on Sunday. Marlon Mack rushed for 74 yards in the loss and has failed to reach the end zone in his last two games. He will need to step up as will the team’s tight ends Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle, who combined for eight catches, 100 yards and one touchdown. Indianapolis will be without their top two wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (injured calf) and Parris Campbell (fractured hand).
While the Colts offense has failed to score many points in the last two weeks, it’s been the defense that has kept them in the games. Against Miami, the defense tallied three sacks on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and forced one interception. Darius Leonard was all over the field with 13 tackles and the lone pick. Khari Willis added eight more tackles. The defense has been much improved since the first half of the season and that includes holding teams on third down, as well as in the red zone.
