The Atlanta Falcons took on the Jacksonville Jaguars tonight in their final football game on the NFL preseason schedule, with one team ready to count on its franchise quarterback to take it back to the playoffs, and the other officially opting to keep its franchise QB on the shelf for the season. The Jags say they’re starting veteran journeyman Chad Henne over first round rookie Blake Bortles, even as Bortles stated his case yet again tonight. But the final score was decided primarily by the second quarter.

Matt Ryan looked strong in his previous outing for Atlanta, and remains the team’s best hope for bouncing back from a bad season in 2013. But TJ Yates had a strong outing tonight, going fifteen for twenty with two touchdown scores, allowing the Falcons to feel safer about the backup QB position. Jacksonville sat Chad Henne tonight, but only gave Blake Bortles brief playing time as he went four for six with one touchdown score. Neither Morris nor Stanzi did much to make the case for winning the third string Jags QB job.

The Atlanta Falcons were the winner tonight over the Jacksonville Jaguars by a final score of 24-14 thanks to a pair of touchdowns before halftime. The next game on the Falcons schedule is the season opener at home against the New Orleans Saints next Sunday afternoon, while the next game on the schedule for the Jaguars is at the Philadelphia Eagles, also on Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Detroit Lions game: score, schedule, winner

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.

Chicago Bears v Jacksonville Jaguars game: score winner schedule

The Chicago Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars faced off in a preseason schedule NFL football game tonight at Soldier Field in which both teams looked to continue the success they eachhad at the quarterback position in their first exhibition games last week. Each team found what they were looking for, to varying degrees, despite a lopsided start, the final score was close and the winner was determined in the final minute.

Jacksonville started strong under Chad Henne, and Blake Bortles also looked strong in relief, propelling the Jaguars to an early lead which appeared would hold up for the duration of the game. But Chicago’s backups led a quiet steady comeback culminating in a touchdown drive by the Bears with under a minute left. That left the Jags trying to drive for a winning field goal at the end of the game…

But in the end the Jaguars threw the game away with a poor interception, making the Bears one-point winners by a final score of 20-19. Jacksonville plays at the Detroit Lions next on the schedule on Friday night, while Chicago’s next game on the schedule is at the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night.

Tampa Bay Bucs vs Jacksonville Jaguars game: score, schedule

The Tampa Bay Bucs and Jacksonville Jaguars got their 2014 NFL campaigns underway tonight with a preseason game which saw the two Florida teams facing off in their traditional August annual exhibition outing. Both teams are in transition heading into this season, one with a new coach and the other with a new quarterback. Final score and upcoming schedule for both teams below.

Tampa saw the debut of new head coach Lovie Smith tonight, and along with him new quarterback Josh McCown, who did little in the game. Instead it was incumbent QB Mike Glennon who looked strong in extended action, nearing a passer rating of one hundred for the Buccaneers. Jacksonville put rookie quarterback Blake Bortles on the field for the first time, and he looked far better than journeyman Chad Henne. In the end, the final score was determined primarily by backup players on both sides.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won over the Tampa Bay Bucs by a final score of 16-10. The next game on the Jags schedule is Thursday night, August 14th, at the Chicago Bears, airing on TV channel ESPN. The next Bucs game on the schedule is at home against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, August 16th.

Jacksonville Jaguars first round draft pick: replace Blaine Gabbert

The Jacksonville Jaguars head into tonight’s NFL Draft 2014 in desperate need of a franchise quarterback, and an overall roster so weak that a franchise quarterback might not be able to help them out much. So the dilemma with their first round pick, number three overall, is whether to take a QB and hope for the best, or whether to put their focus toward building a competent offense and defense this year and look toward 2015 for finding their quarterback of the future. But with draft bust Blaine Gabbert gone, can the team stand another year with Chad Henne under center?

One thing is almost certain: the Jaguars will have at least one of the 2014 NFL Draft’s top quarterback prospects, Johnny Manziel and Blake Bortles, fall to them at number three. Even if Houston takes one at #1, the Rams aren’t likely to take the other at #2 unless that pick is traded. But can either quarterback be expected to do much with Jacksonville’s anemic roster in 2014? Would the number one pick be expected to start immediately, or would be be brought along slowly while journeyman Henne keeps the seat warm?

Who will the Jacksonville Jaguars first round pick be in tonight’s NFL Draft 2014? Tune in here.

Khalil Mack NFL Draft: Rams, Browns, Raiders or Jaguars

Khalil Mack won’t be the first pick in tonight’s NFL Draft unless the Texans decide to shake things up. But being passed over at #1 doesn’t mean he’ll have to wait for long. In fact the next four teams on the board could each use his services to varying degrees. The trick: all four need help at other positions as well, and at least two of them need franchise quarterbacks. But don’t expect Mack to get past the foursome of the Rams, Browns, Jaguars, and Raiders, who pick second through fifth, respectively.

In fact the St Louis Rams may be the most likely destination for Khalil Mack, because they’re the least likely to take a quarterback this year. The only thing that could realistically keep this pick from happening is if Houston passes on Jadaveon Clowney, and the Rams decide they like him better. In such case the Cleveland Browns will have to decide whether Khalil Mack is a bigger priority than finding a quarterback upgrade over Bryan Hoyer. The Jacksonville Jaguars need a quarterback as well, but then again, they need help everywhere. And when it comes to the maverick Oakland Raiders, there’s rarely any way to predict what they’ll do with any given draft pick. Still, it’s unlikely that Mack gets past #5 tonight.
