The Jaguars will come away victorious in Week 6 in the event that they do these three issues.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts are simply hours away from kicking off at Everbank Stadium. Though it’s solely the sixth sport of the season for each groups, the winner will take sole possession of the division. A Jags victory additionally means they’ll personal a tiebreak state of affairs for the division if the 2 groups have the identical file on the finish of the season.
Here are three issues the Jags must do to ship Minshew Mania again to Indy with a loss.
1. Don’t do what they did towards the Houston Texans.
The Jaguars are the superior crew. Week 1 wasn’t that way back, and it was evident that though the Jaguars didn’t play their greatest ball, they didn’t essentially must. As coach Doug Pederson stated on Thursday in reference to the 2 earlier home video games, they need to proceed to chop out the BS that may permit opponents like Indy to steal a W. Simply put, don’t let a fullback return a kickoff for a landing.
2. Win on the skin.
The Colts are the Twenty eighth-ranked protection, giving up 382 yards per sport. And a lot of that’s as a result of they’re additionally the Twenty eighth-ranked passing protection, giving up 262 yards per sport. Zay Jones is predicted to be out on Sunday as he nurses a knee damage. That means Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley might want to proceed their momentum from the Buffalo sport, and not less than a few of the extensive receiver depth we heard about within the offseason wants to point out up. I’d additionally search for Evan Engram to assist out fantasy homeowners within the crimson zone – a place the place Zay Jones has thrived up to now in 2023.
3. Stop the run.
This is one thing the Jaguars’ protection has had an excessive amount of success with over the previous couple of years, however that success must proceed Sunday. With Zack Moss coming off a 165-yard, two-touchdown sport, and former All-Pro Jonathan Taylor getting again into the lineup, the Jaguars want to reduce the specter of the run sport and pressure Gardner Minshew to remain within the pocket – a place most Jaguars’ followers know makes him antsy.
What else do the Jags must do with a view to be 4-2?
