Mark Brunell breaks down the Jaguars' loss to the Titans
After a strong game against the Texans last week, the Titans dominated the Jaguars this week, winning 37 to 16. Despite an initial turnout of over 60,000 fans at EverBank Field, many left disappointed. The Jaguars' performance regressed significantly from the previous week. Analyst Mark Brunell noted the team's struggle, highlighting the Titans' effective strategy of shutting down Leonard Fournette and forcing the Jaguars into a challenging passing game.
