The good, the bad and the ugly of the Jaguars’ 33-13 loss to the Colts

Fans feel as though there wasn’t a lot of good to take from the Jags loss to the Colts but at least Foles looked to be 100% from his injury.

The ugly: The Jags run defense gets gashed

The Jaguars came into the league with one of the worst run defenses in the league, ranking as the fourth-worst in total rush yards allowed and worst in the league in yards per carry.

Sunday was not any better as the Jaguars were absolutely gashed on the ground, giving up 264 rushing yards. Colts running back Marlon Mack was one of the bigger beneficiaries of the day, rushing for 109 yards and a touchdown.

However, the story of the rush defense gets more egregiously bad as reserve running back Johnathan Williams got in on the action, rushing for a career-high 116 yards on 13 carries with the longest being a 48-yard run. Williams came into the game with a career total of only 94 yards.

The Jaguars gave up a whopping 7.3 yards per carry on the day and it’s clear that this is a run defense that will be a problem all year. Teams can practically run the ball at will against the Jags at this point, and if it keeps up, the Jaguars will have a hard time overall on the defensive end.
