Gardner Minshew sets rookie franchise passing TD record during loss to Chargers

Wins have not been prevalent for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they at least were able to set a notable record Week 14.

Just as he’s done all year, rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew II was able to add another franchise record to his résumé. This time it was the rookie record for touchdown passes, which occurred in the third quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers No. 4 ranked passing defense.

With 5:48 to go in the quarter, Minshew eluded the entire Chargers defense and hit tight end Nick O’Leary wide open for a 12-yard touchdown. While the touchdown didn’t mean much in the total outcome of the game, it did impact the franchise’s history books.

The Jaguars continued their franchise record breaking success from last week where Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen set the rookie franchise sacks (nine) record and running back Leonard Fournette set the single season record for most receptions by a running back (63).

Unfortunately, that success did not translate to the score sheet as the Jaguars fell to the Chargers by a score of 45-10.

Fans react to Jags’ poor first half performance vs. Chargers with frustrations at an all-time high

Jags fans weren’t happy with the team’s first half performance against the Chargers. In fact, the game can’t end soon enough.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten off to another embarrassing start and entered the half of Week 14’s game down 24-3. That quickly turned into a 31-3 deficit in the third quarter and fans have let their voices be heard about the product on the field.

Below are just some of the few fan reactions from the Jags poor showing in the first half:

Talk about an angry fanbase. But then again, can they really be blamed at this point?

The Jags poor showing in the first half wasn’t shocking, unfortunately. When looking at their 10 quarters heading into the half, they had been outscored by a deficit of 150-50.

With just under two minutes left in the third quarter, they will need a holiday miracle to close their current deficit of 37-10.

Jaguars X-factors on offense and defense vs. Chargers

Which Jags players can be the Jaguars’ X-factors on offense and defense vs. Chargers?

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers face off Sunday in a battle of two desperately disappointing franchises. Both teams are on a losing streak that spans at least three games, with the Jaguars trying to avoid losing their fifth-straight game.

Gardner Minshew II is back as the starting quarterback for Jacksonville, which is just about the only thing keeping fans engaged in what has otherwise has been a very disappointing season.

With positive momentum nowhere to be seen in Northeast Florida and tough games against wild-card hopefuls in the Oakland Raiders and Indianapolis Colts, and a game against an unpredictable Atlanta Falcons team, the Jaguars might not win another game this year if they aren’t able to win Sunday.

Simply put, a win by Jacksonville Sunday will take a special effort from some of the best players, but who can provide an X-factor for the Jaguars in this game?

RB Ryquell Armstead

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be up against a talented passing defense as the Chargers are ranked fourth in passing yards allowed under former Jags head coach Gus Bradley. Much of that is because of edge rushers Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa. They also have an elite corner in Casey Hayward. That said, when considering how the group plays defense under Bradley, the Jags will need to depend on a player who makes defenders miss and Ryquell Armstead is just that.

Of course, Leonard Fournette has flourished as a pass-catcher this season, but the Chargers are well aware of who he is. That’s exactly why the Jags should look to get Armstead, who is still relatively unknown, some opportunities in the passing game as he and rookie Gardner Minshew already have one touchdown connection.

DE Yannick Ngakoue

Normally we don’t go with starers in our X-factors post, but Ngakoue has an X-factor ability: causing turnovers. He’ll be up against a quarterback with eight turnovers in his last three games in Philip Rivers. In that span, Rivers has also fumbled the ball twice.

Ngakoue is likely headed to the franchise tag as the future of this Jaguars’ front office remains up in the air. However, that hasn’t let contract issues prevent him from producing this season.

The fourth-year defensive end has registered four sacks and two forced fumbles in his last five games, which is a remarkably impressive run of form. The Chargers’ offensive line isn’t brilliant and if the Maryland product can make his presence felt against his assignment, then it could be a very fruitful day for him.

3 keys to a Jaguars victory vs. Chargers

Jaguars vs. Chargers provides an opportunity to finally stop the losing streak, here’s how Jacksonville can beat their struggling opponent.

The Jacksonville Jaguars need a win more so than any other team in football this weekend. Currently on a four-game skid, Jacksonville has gone from division title contenders to being near the top of the draft order in less than a month.

Unfortunately, the games don’t get any easier heading forward. Sunday’s opponents, the Los Angeles Chargers, are undeniably talented but are enduring a difficult season of their own, too. Thanks to divisional losses, they’ve found themselves at the bottom of the AFC West, though they have some big wins against the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts and the 9-3 Green Bay Packers.

If Jacksonville is to stop the bleeding and avoid being condemned to their eleventh losing season in the last 12 years, they will have to stick to a clear game-plan.

Take the pressure off Gardner Minshew II

Gardner Minshew II has been reinserted as the Jaguars’ starter ahead of this game, but if the Jaguars end up relying on “Minshew Mania” too heavily for the win today then they have let their rookie quarterback down. The Jaguars have a running back playing at a Pro Bowl level this season in Leonard Fournette, and he should be utilized heavily in Sunday’s game.

The Chargers pass defense is fourth-best in the country, with the secondary continuing to shut down receivers and Derwin James set to start in his second game of the season coming back from a foot injury. This means offensive coordinator John DeFilippo will need to lean on his running back for the win Sunday.

This year Fournette has established himself as an option out of the backfield whilst continuing to impose himself as a powerful runner. Chargers’ pass rushers Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram are both exceptional at getting after the quarterback, and with Minshew’s documented fumbling issues, Fournette should be the feature of Sunday’s game if the Jags want to minimize turnover opportunities.
