The bad: The Jaguars fail to stop the run…again

While the pass defense of the Jags played well, their rush defense left much to be desired.

Colts running back Marlon Mack ran at an efficient 5.1 yards per carry clip and finished with 77 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

The Jaguars allowed a shockingly bad total of 396 rushing yards in their two meetings against the Colts. Mack finished with 109 rushing yards and a touchdown in the last matchup, and added two more rushing touchdowns Sunday.

The Jaguars struggled all year with defending the ground game as they came into Sunday’s game ranked No. 31 in the league against the rush, allowing a yard per carry average of 5.1, which is actually the highest total in the league. This can be contributed by the Jaguars having a staggering amount of injuries at the linebacker position resulting in a constant carousel of starters.
