Victory Strategies for Jets versus Jaguars Football Showdown
The New York Jets (4-3) return to MetLife Stadium this weekend to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5), a game that could significantly influence the direction of both teams' seasons.
The Jaguars are renowned for their formidable defense, particularly their stingy rushing defense, which allows a mere 3.5 yards per carry. This could pose a challenge for Chris Ivory and the Jets' running backs, who have struggled in the team's recent two-game losing streak, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry compared to their season average of 4.5 yards per carry in the first five games.
On the other side of the ball, the Jets' offense will be led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is expected to start despite tearing ligaments in his non-throwing hand. Fitzpatrick, capable of getting the ball to top targets Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, will need to perform at his best to counter the Jaguars' defense.
The Jets have a history of success when they establish a running game, and they've run for 100 or more yards in each victory this season. However, their recent struggles on the ground could make this a challenging feat against the Jaguars.
The Jets' defense has had its own struggles, particularly against quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Derek Carr. Darrelle Revis and the Jets' defense will need to find their stride to contain Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, who is completing just 55.7% of his passes, ranking 30th among qualifiers.
Bortles had a poor rookie year in 2014, but he has shown improvement in recent games. The Jets will need to be vigilant to prevent him from leading the Jaguars to a win.
The Jaguars have just three interceptions this season, tied for last in the NFL. This could present an opportunity for the Jets' defense to make plays and swing the game in their favour.
The Jets will be hoping to avoid a third consecutive loss and get back on track. With the playoffs in sight, every game is crucial, and a win against the Jaguars could be just what they need to kick-start their season.
