Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Jaguars first seven games of the NFL season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on their bye week, so let’s take a look back at what has gone well through the first seven games and what hasn’t gone so well.

Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly over the first seven weeks of the Jaguars‘ season.

The good for the Jaguars at the bye week

Turnovers: As was expected after the Jaguars’ extremely hot start, the turnovers have cooled off a bit as of late, but Jacksonville’s ability to generate takeaways through the first half of the season has been a huge contributor to their success. The Jaguars are currently second in turnover differential and second in takeaways.

Run game: The run game has steadily found success. Jacksonville is averaging 4.7 yards per rush on the season, which ranks ninth in the NFL. Travis Etienne is averaging 5.3 yards per carry this season. The issue, at times, is that the Jaguars fall behind early and then cannot lean on the run game as heavily.

In the thick of the playoff race: Jacksonville has lost their last two games, but they are 4-3 on the season, right in the thick of the AFC playoff race. They currently hold the seventh seed in those standings.

Jaguars run defense: Jacksonville is allowing only 3.9 yards per carry this season, which is the ninth-best mark in the NFL. Opponents are also averaging fewer than 100 rushing yards per game against the Jaguars as well. For many defenses, steady success begins with stopping the run.

The bad for the Jaguars at the bye week

Dropped passes: The Jaguars’ pass-catchers have dropped 9.9% of their total targets this season, which is the highest rate in football. Briant Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Dyami Brown all rank in the top seven among wide receivers in dropped passes this season.

Need more sacks: Depending on where you look, you’ll see the Jaguars ranked 12th in pressure rate but also 24th in ESPN’s pass rush win rate metric. But regardless, the bottom line is that the Jaguars need to produce more sacks. Their eight sacks on the season are the fewest in football.

The Ugly for the Jaguars at the bye week

Penalties: All season long, even in games that the Jaguars have won, penalties have frequently been a major issue. Jacksonville currently leads the NFL in penalties with 65, totaling 528 penalty yards against them. It becomes a lot more difficult to win games when dealing with so many penalties each week.
