52. Now being led by interim head coach Doug Marrone, the Jaguars opened up a 19-7 halftime lead as Jacksonville defense kept running back DeMarco Murray and company under wraps in the first 30 minutes. Titans’ quarterback Marcus Mariota would eventually go down with a broken fibula and the Jaguar’s defense took full advantage. Meanwhile, Jason Myers kicked four field goals, including a pair from 50-plus yards. And rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey capped off the scoring in the game with a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown at the expense of quarterback Matt Cassel. <p>Offseason Plans: Most importantly, the search will be on for the team’s newest head coach. Marrone was once the sideline leader of the Buffalo Bills but moved on after a short stint. The name Tom Coughlin has surfaced in more than one spot and we’ll see if the current ownership is indeed interested in bring back the franchise’s first-ever sideline leader.</p> <p>Draft talk: As we know, the Jaguars snared a pair of promising defensive prospects in the 2016 draft in Ramsey and linebacker Myles Jack. The former has the look of a future Pro Bowler and the unit as a whole displayed plenty of promise. Some more help on the defensive front would make a lot of sense.</p>. 3-12. Previous: .
