Jacksonville @ Seattle
Current Records: Jacksonville 1-5; Seattle 2-5
What to Know
After a two-game homestand, the Jacksonville Jaguars will be on the road. Their bye week comes to an end as they meet up with the Seattle Seahawks at 4:05 p.m. ET at Lumen Field next Sunday. The Jaguars should still be riding high after a win, while Seattle will be looking to regain their footing.
Last week, Jacksonville narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Miami Dolphins 23-20. RB James Robinson and WR Marvin Jones were among the main playmakers for Jacksonville as the former punched in one rushing touchdown and the latter caught seven passes for one TD and 100 yards. That receiving effort made it the first game that Jones has posted more than 100 yards receiving.
Special teams collected 11 points for Jacksonville. K Matthew Wright booted in three field goals, the longest a 54-yarder in the fourth quarter, which ultimately accounted for the difference in the game.
Speaking of close games: it was close but no cigar for Seattle as they fell 13-10 to the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The losing side was boosted by WR DK Metcalf, who caught two passes for one TD and 96 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Geno Smith’s 84-yard TD bomb to Metcalf in the first quarter.
The Jaguars’ win brought them up to 1-5 while the Seahawks’ loss pulled them down to 2-5. A pair of defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Jacksonville is third worst in the NFL in yards allowed per game, with 412.2 on average. Seattles have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the matchup with the second most yards allowed per game in the league, having given up 414.7 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
