The Jacksonville Jaguars may have been on the road for their last three games, but it was clear that home was anywhere but sweet.
The Jaguars finished up another brutal week against the Tampa Bay Bucs where they were absolutely manhandled by the score of 28-11.
The crowd in attendance witnessed an absolute drubbing at TIAA Bank Field against an opponent that the Jaguars have had the edge over in the all-time series, with a 4-2 record over the Bucs.
There are always positives, even in a game like this, where there seemed to be mostly negatives. Here’s a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The good: Record setting aplenty
While the Jags didn’t get the desired result on the scoreboard, they did at least find some success in the record books.
Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen would start off the record-setting day by finishing the game with six tackles and a sack. The sack would be Allen’s ninth of the year which would set the rookie franchise record held by Yannick Ngakoue:

Josh Allen has a great chance to eclipse the Jaguars single-season record set by Calais Campbell with 14.5 sacks back in 2017. It would appear that the Jags have found an absolute gem on the defensive side of the ball in the rookie.
The record-setting day continued as Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette set the franchise single-season reception record finishing the game with nine catches for 53 yards. That gave him a total of 65 catches on the year.

While the Jaguars would rather have the win on the scoreboard, they can at least take solace in knowing that these two guys still give it their all in what seems like a lost season for the Jaguars.
