JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars figure the second half of the season can’t possibly be worse than the first.
The Jaguars switched starting quarterbacks twice, endured the longest losing streak in coach Jack Del Rio’s nine-year tenure and found a variety of ways to drop close games.
They were ready for last week’s bye, which gave players a chance to get away from football, regroup mentally, recover physically and maybe stop pressing after a rough start that left Del Rio’s job security as tenuous as ever.
Cornerback Rashean Mathis says “it’s time for us to win some ball games, to turn this season around.” He feels they have the players to get it done, too.
The Jaguars (2-6) have a chance to build confidence and momentum at winless Indianapolis (0-9) on Sunday.
