Allen Hurns: On THAT touchdown streak, Allen Robinson and Jacksonville Jaguars
He sat out the final three exhibition games and the first four games of the regular season, missing a chunk of time that probably would have helped build a bond with Bortles. Bortles threw for 329 yards in the loss, completing 30-of-49 passes. He scrambled for eight yards on a fourth-and-seven play, diving for the first-down marker to keep the drive going. It was his best all-around game as a Jaguar.
“I think that’s something we’ve got to work on, is getting him the ball”, Bortles said.
The Jaguars’ update on receiver Allen Hurns today did not include ruling him out for Sunday’s game at Tennessee.
San Diego hasn’t been too terribly turnover prone this season, but the Jaguars’ defense is going to force at least three turnovers today. Bradley said Rivers’ experience, command of the offense and ability to call the game at the line of scrimmage was a factor in the Chargers scoring touchdowns on four of five red-zone opportunities on Sunday.
Blake Bortles does not look like his rookie self from a season ago, as he has taken major strides to be the man in Duval. “If I take off running, I’ve got to throw it before I get to the six.’ You kind of have a feeling for it and obviously I ran past it twice and lost where I was”.
The second one came at almost the same yard line in the third quarter.
The statement they made? If they’re not playing the best football in the league, they’re one of the top three teams in my opinion right now. “Quit being an idiot? I’m just happy to be part of something special and hopefully we will get this thing turned around”. “You see it whenever he’s on the field”.
“For us, we’re creating a standard of what’s acceptable”, Bradley said. Rivers trails only Tom Brady in total passing yards, and he’s second behind Drew Brees in completion percentage. He completed 29-of-43 passes. In the receiving end, Julius Thomas had 116 yards and one touchdown in nine catches while Allen Robinson added 56 yards and one touchdown in five receptions. You know how this game is: You’re always one play away. “Even more so, now that we played them again”. They host the Denver Broncos next Sunday.
To their credit, the Jaguars fought to the end, blocking a punt late and turning that into a touchdown and giving themselves a chance on the onside kick.
Jaguars kicker Jason Myers, a Chula Vista native, made all four of his field goal attempts for the Jaguars.
The other five inactives for the Chargers were defensive players.
