Airing the dirty laundry: Week 4

One thing that Gus Bradley has always preached is consistency. Unfortunately, his teams have been anything but that in most regards. One area they have been consistent in is penalties; the team has been penalized at least nine times in each of their four games this season.

Prior to this year, the Bradley led Jaguars were actually pretty consistent in not being heavily penalized. For whatever reason, this trend has done a 180-degree turn this season.

Hopefully the Jaguars can use the extra time of the bye week to help emphasize decreasing penalties, but until they do I thought it might be a good idea to keep a running tally of sorts to track where the Jaguars yellow flags are coming from. Here are the Jaguars’ penalties against the Colts, courtesy of NFLpenalties.com.

• False Start - Peyton Thompson - 5 yards
• Face Mask - Tyson Alualu - 15 yards
