ANOTHER BLAKE BORTLES BLUNDER

Bortles was 5-of-21 (23.8 percent) on throws more than five yards downfield, including a pick-six, per ESPN Stats & Info. That's the second-worst completion percentage on such throws by any QB this season (min. 10 att). The worst? Bortles in Week 11 at Detroit (21.4).

  One related thing that jumped out in the Jaguars-Lions game was the Lions CBs playing like Blake Bortles likely wouldn't beat them deep.  That,  combined with Bortles' mechanical issues led to a lower % of completed passes than would typically be the case.  I'm not sure how much of this related to the shoulder injury Bortles suffered in the 1st QTR of the game.     The Lions also used a Safety as an extra LB often to help with short and intermediate coverage.
