TEAM LEADERS SACKS PER PASS ATTEMPT

EASY PICKINGS

As with many rookie quarterbacks, Blake Bortles struggled throwing interceptions. In his six games as starting QB for theJaguars he’s already thrown 12 picks and had four of those returned for touchdowns. Not only are the Jaguars throwinginterceptions, they are doing so at a rate on par with the worst in football the last five years. Here are the worst intercep-tion percentage rates since 2010:

THE COACHES

Bengals: Marvin Lewis (94-92-2 overall) is in his 12thseason. Lewis is 3-1 against Jacksonville. Ravens: Gus Bradley (5-19) is in his second season. He’snever played Lewis or the Bengals before. He was previ-ously the defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.

SERIES HISTORY

Jaguars lead 11-8, but Bengals have won three in a row.Bengals won 27-10 at EverBank Field in last meeting (2012).

PROTECT THE POCKET

The Jaguars make a habit of pressuring the quarterback.They have already racked up 25 sacks through eight gamescoming from a wide variety of players. Much the same ashis old Seattle defenses, coach Gus Bradley utilizes a highamount of eight-man-in-the-box formations in order tokeep the QB running. The Bengals have done a nice job ofprotecting Andy Dalton to this point, but it will be imper-ative Sunday.

TAKE YOUR PICK

Blake Bortles possesses all the intangibles to be an NFL QB,but still needs to figure out defensive schemes. That liabil-ity has shown up in the four interceptions returned for TDsagainst him in six starts this season. He tossed two in lastweek’s loss against Miami to make the difference in the27-13 loss. Meanwhile, the Bengals have done a nice job ofcollecting INTs, including two of Joe Flacco last week.They’re tied for fifth in the NFL in INTs.

CONTAIN ROBINSON

Jacksonville has found a spark in former Michigan QBDenard Robinson at running back of late. Robinson rushedfor over 100 yards each of the last two weeks. He’s com-bined for 40 rushes totaling 235 yards at 5.9 yards percarry. Considering the Bengals’ struggles stopping the runthis season (28th in rushing average defense) it wouldseem to be the one area the Jaguars look to exploit inshortening the game.
