Is that saying they were the worst by failing to gain even a single yard 23.5% of the time? i think that's what it means but it's not clear.x

According to the site cited in the tweet (which is a fantasy stat tracking database) yes, that is what that is saying. 

73.5% of our rushes went for one yard or more.  Last in the league. 

The other stats listed are scary bad too. 

Flipping over to another site, I found splits showing that on 3rd down we ran the ball only 57 times in 2023.
(that in itself shows a complete lack of trust by the staff in the run game)
And of those 57 attempts - only 20 of them were converted to a first down.  (zero TDs by rushing on 3rd D) 

It is important to note that those 57 3rd down rushes were comprised of only 40 actual RB touches. 
17 of them were handled by the QB. 

For Jags fans that were watching in the 90's and knew what they were watching -  it seems unfathomable for a Jaguars rushing attack to be unable to convert 3rd and short with a run play seemingly at will. 

It is hard for me to imagine a Jags run game so anemic that we only converted twenty 3rd downs in seventeen games by running the football.
