NFL Power Rankings: 49ers Losing Streak Ties a Franchise Record Entering Week 12
By Peter Panacy
The Jacksonville Jaguars climb up one spot because they nearly escaped Detroit with a key road victory over the Lions.
But then the fourth quarter happened.
Despite a 19-16 lead heading into the final frame, Jacksonville coughed up 10 key points to give the Lions the victory.
Jacksonville’s running game was nonexistent, and running back Chris Ivory led the Jaguars with a mere 39 yards on the ground. Quarterback Blake Bortles tossed two touchdowns but against two interceptions, so it’s pretty clear he’s not the answer either.
If there is a positive, Jacksonville’s defense held the Lions rushing attack in check for a net total of just 14 yards and 0.7 yards per carry.
