The Jaguars offense never clicked until it was too late in the fourth quarter.
After the blocked field goal return for a touchdown by Antrelle Rolle, it seemed like the stadium emptied out and fans gave up on the team.
Possibly the biggest headliner for the Jaguars this season will not even deal with their record, but the attendance and lack there of.
I'll save that article for another time, but if the Jaguars want to have any [...]
