The Jaguars benched quarterback Blake Bortles following his second fumble against Houston.
Bortles fumbled on the team’s third play of each half, and the Texans turned them into 10 points. They led 20-0 when former Cleveland quarterback Cody Kessler entered the game. Fans cheered Kessler’s entrance.
Bortles completed 6-of-12 passes for 61 yards in the first half. He also scrambled six times for 30 yards.
The Jaguars have been shut out in the first half for the third consecutive game, the first time that has happened in franchise history.
As the Giants fade from relevance at 1-5, and with Eli Manning looking his 37 years of age, and with Tom Coughlin presiding over Jaguars things, the two seem to be a match. But Manning’s no-trade clause and the Giants’ loyalty to Manning, as well as Jacksonville’s lack of cap space, make any trade far-fetched.
