52. Like most bad teams, the Jaguars just find ways to lose these days. Their current skid stands at nine consecutive setback. Early in the second quarter, Jacksonville owned a 13-0 lead over the Texans and Houston was getting ready to sit down quarterback Brock Osweiler after throwing two interceptions. But after Gus Bradley’s club got a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from wideout Marqise Lee in the third quarter, the team was done scoring for the day. The offense was simply miserable and managed only 150 total yards on 50 plays. It proved to be the final straw for Bradley, who was relieved of his head-coaching duties following the loss. <p>Next Week: It’s a rematch with the much-improved Tennessee Titans, who are coming off a thrilling 19-17 win at Kansas City. Earlier this season at Nashville, the Jaguars were pummeled on a Thursday night, 36-22. These are two teams headed in opposite directions. But it’s worth noting that these rivals have split their season series seven consecutive years dating back to 2009.</p> <p>Draft talk: You almost want to make this a discussion about what the team is going to do about their head-coaching situation following the dismissal of Bradley. Who know what direction this team is headed in when it comes to their sideline leader. But it’s suddenly a club that looks inept on offense and some line upgrades would help.</p>. 2-12. Previous: .
