Just a bit of perspective on Wash's "defense giving up a lead late in games." 

 

This 2016 Jags team only led in the fourth quarter of 7 games.  In two of those the defense allowed less than 20 points. I'd say they did their damn job in those two games. So you are left with five games in which the Jags held a lead at some point during the second half. 

 

Also - In three of those 5 games during which the Jags had the lead during the second half, that lead was only by 4 points or less.  

 

They really only blew a lead of any actual significance twice. 

 

I still have my gripes with Wash's defense and think better play calling may have helped them scrape out a win or two more, but they weren't out there blowing leads all season.
