in the 2019 NFL Season
The Jacksonville Jaguars had a tumultuous 2019 NFL season, finishing with a record of 6-10 and missing the playoffs for the third consecutive year. The team had high hopes coming into the season, with the addition of quarterback Nick Foles and the return of running back Leonard Fournette. However, the team struggled to find consistency on both sides of the ball and ultimately failed to reach their goals.
The Jaguars’ offense was led by Foles, who was acquired in the offseason via trade. Foles had a solid season, throwing for 3,941 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also had a respectable completion percentage of 65.3%. However, he was often hampered by an inconsistent offensive line and a lack of weapons in the passing game. The team’s leading receiver was Dede Westbrook, who had 66 receptions for 717 yards and five touchdowns.
The Jaguars’ running game was led by Fournette, who had a productive season despite missing four games due to injury. He finished with 1,152 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He also added 76 receptions for 522 yards and another touchdown. The team also got solid contributions from backup running back Ryquell Armstead, who had 495 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The Jaguars’ defense was a major disappointment in 2019. The team allowed an average of 25 points per game, which ranked near the bottom of the league. The pass defense was especially poor, allowing an average of 259 passing yards per game. The team also struggled to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks, recording just 37 sacks on the season.
Overall, the Jaguars’ 2019 season was a disappointment. The team failed to reach their goals due to inconsistent play on both sides of the ball. The offense struggled to find consistency, while the defense was unable to generate enough pressure or stop opposing offenses. The team will need to make some changes in order to improve their performance in 2020.
