Some interesting info from an analytics standpoint comparing to the 2013 Seahawks defense.
"So on a per-game basis, the Jaguars are blowing other teams completely out of the water in preventing opponents' aerial attack. Granted, Jacksonville has played only seven games while most of its competition in this category had to play 16. But the point stands: This Jaguars pass defense is playing at an elite level.
And this isn't a matter of one huge play distorting the Jaguars' season average. Even if we remove Jacksonville's biggest play against the pass all year -- a Yannick Ngakoue strip sack of Tom Savage that Dante Fowler Jr. returned for a touchdown -- these Jags would still easily outpace the Seahawks."
