31. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5)

The Jaguars are not much improved over a season ago. This was to be the breakout season for Jacksonville and compete for not only a winning record but a playoff spot.

After their miserable performance against the Tennessee Titans last Thursday night in Nashville, it is safe to say the Jaguars might just not be improving, but regressing.

The maturation of quarterback Blake Bortles isn’t going as planned. If anything, he also looks worse this season. They managed some garbage points against the Titans but it’s when the game is on the line is when it counts.

The Jaguars may not win many more football games this season. Early on they were competitive and should have had a couple of more wins but again this is a team finding new ways to lose. When you don’t compete though like in the Tennessee game, there’s no chance.

Life doesn’t get much better this week. The Jaguars visit Kansas City. Good luck.
