He didn't.

He was in the backfield the whole time. They had negative rush yards while he was on the field.

Well... yes and no.
Not sure how many "hurries" or "hits" he was credited with, but he only got 2 total tackles for the game... I think he played 3 full quarters iirc.
He did have a patented Fowler offside penalty... He had one play where he blew up the backfield and got a TFL of like -6 yards. But from what I could tell this is because the RT or up back didn't do what they were supposed to. Both guys end up on the LB coming in and Fowler is essentially untouched.

Anywho... the obvious course for Fowler has pretty much been laid out... We're gonna hold on to him for now (I would assume we would have heard of substantial trade rumors). Hope he gets us enough sacks through the year to be worth the roster spot. And hopefully perform well enough someone signs him for money in the offseason netting us a comp pick.
Best case scenario, he plays out of his mind and makes it a tough decision for the team. But ultimately I think Fowler is no longer a Jag after this season, no matter what.
