BY THE NUMBERS | Here's a closer look inside the Jaguars' London loss to the Broncos, including a red-zone offense that continues to sputter.
Denver converted just two of 11 third-down attempts, they totaled 305 yards and they only got to Lawrence twice via sacks the entire game.33 percent: Jaguars continue failures in red zone
On the season, Jacksonville has converted just 50 percent of its red zone opportunities, ranked 24th in the NFL. For reference, Jacksonville ranked 28th in the league last year in the red zone at 51.28 percent. "It's been an area that we've kind of struggled in all season," said Pederson."You know, we kind of pride ourselves on trying to get touchdowns once we get into the red zone, but it's something as a staff we really have to take a look at and make sure we are putting our players in situations there and plays that they can be successful in."It's important to highlight Etienne after yet another standout performance by the second-year rusher.
Though they aren't the same type of player, former Jaguars running back James Robinson accounted for 20 15-plus yard carries during his career in Jacksonville, for reference. While it's a subjective stat, there have been several instances of clear drops, including one from tight end Evan Engram on Sunday.
Engram has accounted for just two dropped passes on the season. He's been one of the more sure-handed players on the team, signed to a one-year contract in the spring.
