The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) will be visiting the Los Angeles Chargers (1-4) for Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season.
Jacksonville will be without several members of its starting defense as well as lacking an offensive identity. Being down early because of the holes on defense doesn’t help, but neither does the inconsistent play of Gardner Minshew and how running back James Robinson is a near after thought in the offensive game plan.

7:40 PM: It was a fun game, the guys around our future quarterback looked good, we didn’t ruin our draft place with a meaningless win, and we got a SCORIGAMI! That’s a best case scenario, folks. Night, everyone.
7:35 PM: Game over. We lost on the scoreboard but won in SCORIGAMI!

7:20 PM: With that Mike Badgley field goal, the Jaguars are down 39-29. I don’t want to alarm anyone but that is a SCORIGAMI, folks. A 39-29 final score has never been accomplished.
7:11 PM: Historically bad defense. All-time bad.

7:01 PM: Oh man, Dede Westbrook with a very bad injury. CBS saying they won’t replay it. It’s all jokes until an injury like that. Prayers up, Dede. We love you, man.
6:56 PM: Quick strike Chargers! Jaguars down 36-29.
JUSTIN HERBERT.

6:37 PM: The Jaguars have embraced the most chaotic tank of all time.
6:36 PM: Hell of a throw and catch by Justin Herbert and Virgil Green there. Two-point conversions is no good. Jaguars down 22-21.
I mean, that’s just a hell of a throw and catch.

6:04 PM: HALFTIME OBSERVATIONS:
1. James Robinson is a FULL GROWN MAN. Best player on offense.
2. Gardner Minshew is fun to watch, but he’s still not it.
3. The rest of the offense, with the exception of a good tight end, is plug and play for a first round quarterback. Go get him in April.
5:55 PM: After a failed two-point conversion, Jaguars down just 16-14 going into halftime.

4:43 PM: Second drive, second straight three-and-out for the Jaguars. This one ended in a sack — with only three Chargers defensive linemen.
4:38 PM: A three-and-out by the Jaguars and a long drive by the Chargers means we’re down early. Los Angeles kicks a short field goal easily. Jaguars losing 3-0.
4:27 PM: CBS sideline reporter confirming that running back Chris Thompson tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday morning.
4:25 PM: And it’s game time. Jaguars on offense to start the game. Let’s do this.

6:03 AM: Oh dear. Is Mike Glennon going to see the field today? What about Jake Luton? There is no joy in Mudville.
The end of Minshew Mania? #Jaguars could bench starting QB Gardner Minshew today if his struggles continue.

My story: https://t.co/7VjIB1tQWe
6:00 AM: The injury report from Friday is... not encouraging. Myles Jack is out. Jarrod Wilson is out. Tyler Eifert is out. If this team is going to win, it’s going to be with backups.
