Jets vs Jaguars Preview
The Jaguars (3-4) and Jets (1-5) will have to not only endure each others’ bruising styles of play but they’ll also have to overcome the balmy weather conditions that are expected for Jacksonville on Sunday.
Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-80s with high humidity levels, pushing the “feels-like” temps into the low 90s.
“It’s going to be a hot game,” said Jets outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins. “In my opinion, they know we’re a cold-weather team and they’re going to try and hurry the speed of the game up, try to get us out of our element and tire us down a bit, and try to gash us with the run.”
Rain or shine, hot or cold, it doesn’t matter what the weather is like on Sunday, the Jets will have to execute a much better game plan than they did last Monday when they were embarrassed in front of a nationally-televised audience by the New England Patriots, 33-0.
Jets second-year quarterback Sam Darnold had his worst game as a pro, completing 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards and accounting for five turnovers in an effort that landed him a 3.6 rating.
Darnold, who wore a microphone for the ESPN broadcast, was picked up saying that he was “seeing ghosts.” The Jets were angered by the fact that the clip, which ended up going viral, made air in the first place.
The third overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, Darnold, missed three games with mono earlier in the season and then returned to torch the Dallas Cowboys for 338 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-22 win on Oct. 13 — a week before the Patriots debacle.
The Jets’ defense is ranked second in the league against the run, allowing just 3.3 yards per rush.
They will face a tough test on Sunday when they face-off with the NFL’s second-best rusher, Leonard Fournette, who has run for 715 yards on the season.
“They’re aggressive guys. They’re old-school football,” Jenkins said.
“You know what you’re going to get when you line up and run what they’re going to run. They’re not going to switch it up. Even if you know, you know. They can overpower you and just get after it. They have a physical group of tight ends as well, and they’re just trying to run it down your throat.”
The Jaguars are coming off a 27-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on the road last week, where their defense made three interceptions including one that was returned for a touchdown.
Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew completed 15 of 32 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown and ran for 48 yards, leading the Jaguars to a comeback win.
The Bengals led 10-9 after three quarters but the Jaguars rallied to outscore them 18-7 in the fourth.

It’s going to be a steamy afternoon in Jacksonville, with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-80s with high humidity. There’s also a chance of a scattered thunderstorm during the game, as well.
