Ok, so it was just the Chiefs defense. However, Sims-Walker's 147 yards is the most by any Jags receiver since Jimmy Smith was still in his prime. He might "Need-a-Walker" but he's also the best wide receiver on this team.

COACHING F

 

It’s hard to argue against the initial strategy of attacking the Titans’ pass-challenged defense through the air. It didn’t work because the Jaguars were simply outplayed in the trenches. With the Jags trailing 20-13 in the third quarter, backup running back Rashad Jennings was stopped for 1 yard on third-and-3. Why go to Jennings in that situation when you’ve barely trusted him to carry at all this season? The troubling thing over how the Jaguars failed to seize the momentum after they tied the game is it continues a Jekyll-and-Hyde pattern that has been evident for much of the Jack Del Rio era.
