Mark Brunell: Minshew a positive, but an agonizing start for Jaguars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Could the start to the 2019 season have been any worse for the Jaguars? Sure, a 40-26 loss to the Chiefs is disappointing, but how that defeat played out is about as agonizing as possible. Let's start with the most obvious thing and that's the injury to Nick Foles.
