Despite being in the mix for a Super Bowl appearance before the start of 2018, Jacksonville Jaguars are having a disappointing season which got even worse after they suffered a 21-24 loss to Buffalo Bills. This was the Jags seventh straight loss, and it prompted the team to make some personnel changes and fire offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.

The news was confirmed by Jacksonville’s coach Doug Marrone on Monday.

“We would like to thank Nathaniel for his hard work and dedication to the Jaguars organization, and we wish him and his family the best moving forward,” – said Marrone in a statement. “These are always tough decisions, but as the head coach, I have to do what I think is best for this football team.“

Nathaniel Hackett joined the Jaguars in 2015 as quarterbacks coach, before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2016. After the Jags successful playoff run last season, Hackett was praised for getting the most out of inconsistent quarterback Blake Bortles. In 2018, however, Hackett’s run-heavy offense didn’t have the same success, and he ended up losing his job.

“It wasn’t anything negative, [Marrone] just decided to make a move,” – Hackett told NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. “I guess he didn’t think I was good enough, that’s the only thing I can think of. It’s a shock.”

Injury-riddled Jacksonville Jaguars signed former all-pro star Jamaal Charles to a one-year deal on Wednesday, the team announced.

The Jaguars were without a running back after No.3 pick Corey Grant was sidelined with a Lisfranc injury on his left foot. Grant was injured in Sunday’s 30-14 loss to the City Chiefs, leaving the T.J. Yeldon as the Jaguars’ only quality, healthy running back. Jacksonville’ other alternative is little-known Brandon Wilds, but the 26-year-old has only logged 40 yards in 30 carries for four seasons.

Charles previously played for the Kansa Chiefs and was one of the best running backs in the league at his peak. The 31-year-old has peaked 1,000 yards for five seasons, totaled 7,556 rushing yards and 44 rushing touchdowns in the last ten years. He’s only played 117 games out of a possible 165, ranking him seventh for yards and 16^th for rushing touchdowns.

After injuries took a toll on his last year, Charles remained unsigned at the beginning of the 2018/19 season. The running back is obviously past his prime, but the Jaguars are in dire need of a quality running back. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry with Denver. A similar performance this season could at least relieve Yeldon the pressure he gets as the Jaguars’ only reliable running back.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ 31-20 win over the New England Patriots last Sunday, meant that they got their revenge for a narrow loss in the last season’s AFC Championship Game. This doesn’t mean, however, that the Jaguars are done since the team is already preparing to continue their revenge streak this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Titans established themselves as a proper anti-Jags team, and Jacksonville managed to get only one win over them in the last six seasons while losing both of the match-ups in 2017. Now the Jaguars players feel it is time for payback.

“Losing to a team twice, at their house and here, that wasn’t cool,” –linebacker Myles Jack told reporters. “We’re not too happy about that. That’s obviously being talked about this week. The New England game was one thing, but this is a team that literally beat us twice in one year.“

“The Titans were the one team we really didn’t have an answer for,” – added safety Tashaun Gipson. “They outplayed us in every facet of the game. We were truly outmatched, from the home opener last year to the game before the playoffs. Obviously, we want to get our lick back in a sense.”

Tennessee Titans are a historically unpleasant team for Jacksonville Jaguars. Titans handed Jaguars more defeats than any other NFL team and were the ones to stop 14-2 Jags team from 1999 to reach the Super Bowl in franchise’s history. The two teams faced in the 1999 AFC Championship Game at Jacksonville and things started great for the Jaguars who had 14-10 lead at the half. Titans fired back with 23-0 run in the second half and went on to win the game.

Jacksonville Jaguars are off to a great start of the season and currently look like one of the best teams in the league. But, the match against the Titans will probably show what they are made off and whether this team is finally ready for big things.
