The ugly: Jaguars give up an egregious amount of huge plays

Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports

The biggest reason why the Jaguars struggled against the Chargers was due to the fact that they could not resist giving up huge chunk plays.

The Jaguars’ defense got absolutely decimated as they gave up seven plays to the Chargers that gained 20 yards or more. Three of the aforementioned plays went for touchdowns. One touchdown in particular came from Chargers tight end Hunter Henry being completely wide on a misread from Jaguars rookie linebacker Quincy Williams:

Chargers running back Austin Ekeler was the main culprit of those long plays as he was responsible for four of them in which he netted 164 total yards and a touchdown. Ekeler would finish with 101 yards rushing on just eight carries and also 112 yards receiving as he would completely victimize the Jaguars and sucked out any life that they may have had on the day.

The Chargers finished the game with 525 total yards at a 9.1 yard per play clip. There was absolutely no wrong that they could do on offense and it seemed like the Jaguars’ defense could do no right.
