The Jaguars hit gold in the draft with OLB Telvin Smith and then undrafted WR Allen Hurns, (from Jaguars.com) *Hurns’ 5-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter not only extended his franchise record for consecutive games with a touchdown reception to seven, it made him the first NFL player since Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant in 2012 with a streak that long!  The 2nd round pick WR Allen Robinson is currently ranked 7th in the NFL with 758 receiving yards (Allen Brothers are 6&7th ranked among 2nd year WRs)!  Of Course 1st place Odell Beckham has 18 more catches yet only a 105 more yards than AR15! 

The Jaguars have struggled the first half of the season, partly due to vast injuries to key player positions, but the AFC South is so bad that they are still only two games from taking first place from the Colts (on a bye).  The Jaguars play this Thursday against their former Head Coach Zimmerman (Titans).  The Jaguars can expect a very hard game as the Titans Defense currently ranked 5th overall in the NFL (3rd in Passing) won't make it easy for QB Blake Bortles to gun sling it to a win... it'll require TJ Yeldon and the Oline to get hot at making gaps for Yeldon to explode thru....

 

The Titans offense isn't very good led by a rookie QB they are currently ranked 30th overall (Jaguars Offense is ranked 22nd), and the Jaguars 19th Overall Defense needs his best performance as the Defense might have to carry the Jaguars Offense in this game.

 

The Titans are 2-7 after losing to the Panthers while the Jaguars are trying to continue the positive energy from the win heading into Thursday 3-6, both teams are 0-2 in the AFC South.

 

The Allen Brothers are ranked 4th & 6th among the AFC South in receptions caught, but they are both deep touchdown threats to which the Titans have to count for, which hopefully will keep them from stacking the box against Yeldon.

 

If the Jaguars can win this game we can start to consider them for possibly winning the AFC South as they have the weakest schedule among the rest of the AFC South teams, but first they have to prove that beating the Ravens wasnt simply luck....
