The Detroit Lions and the Jacksonville Jaguars went into tonight’s NFL preseason schedule football game with one team all set at quarterback and the other team still trying to convince the world it doesn’t have a quarterback controversy. Neither team got the answers it was looking for, in a close game whose score was decided by just one point.
Jacksonville drafted Blake Bortles early in the first round of the draft, and he’s their quarterback of the future. But the team’s plan to sit him this season in favor of journeyman Chad Henne has fallen under increased scrutiny as Bortles has looked NFL-ready in his exhibition action thus far. Bortles looked sharp tonight, completing 10 of 16 passes and a touchdown score, while Henne looked mediocre, placing more pressure on the Jags to reevaluate their plan. Matthew Stafford had a subpar game for Detroit, suggesting that he may not yet be in regular season form.
The Detroit Lions were the winner over the Jacksonville Jaguars tonight by a final score of 13-12. The next game on the Detroit schedule is Thursday night at the Buffalo Bills, while the next game on the Jaguars schedule is Thursday night at home against the Atlanta Falcons.
