I think my assessment was spot on. Mariota is the new McNair for Coughlin. His legs killed Jags. TN OL is better than Jacksonville but Jacksonville front is the best TN will see and they were without their All-Pro RT and did well with a one-armed QB. I'm not sure Fournetter makes a difference in this series because TN stops the run well. I think Jacksonville missed their LT a lot because Landry made Casey look really good by forcing Bortles to the inside. I thought TN DL was dominant all day and their secondary played lights out. If Walker was healthy and Mariota healthy Jacksonville would have lost going away.

Bortles just does not have TN defense figured out. They make him look ordinary too often for it to be a coincidence. I thought Jack and Smith played great and I think Jalen Ramsey was gassed in the 4th Q. TN time of possession wore Jacksonville out in the fourth Q.

The missed ST play in the first half was a tone setter for the Jags. I like Marrone being aggressive but when it flopped you could feel the momentum change.

I thought Dareus and Campbell were outstanding all day. Casey and Landry did their disruption. These are the two best teams in the AFC South and I think both will make noise in January. Health is the key on both teams and TN is very banged up right now. Jags will get LF back and LT is a spot I would be very concerned about going forward.

Jacksonville defense is always tough and will keep them in games but any team with a good rush and CB's is going to make Bortles look bad.
