The Latest: Quarterbacks drafted No. 1 shine around NFL

The Latest on Week 10 in the NFL (all times EST):___8 p.m.From Kyler Murray magic to Alex Smith’s latest milestone, it was quite the day for quarterbacks selected first in the NFL draft. The Cardinals beat Buffalo 32-30 on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray to DeAndre Hopkins with 2 seconds left, dropping the Bills record to 7-3. Brees was shaken up on a sack in the second quarter when Kentavius Street landed on him. 1 pick Joe Burrow, threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jakeem Grant with 58 seconds left in the first quarter.

Jaguars halfway home to another high pick, potential reboot

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In what could be his final two months on the job, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is making changes. They’re halfway home to another top-five draft pick and probably another significant reboot. Then again, since the Jaguars face the toughest schedule of anyone in the second half of the season, it might not matter. They play three divisions leaders (Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Tennessee), three second-place teams (Baltimore, Chicago, Indianapolis), plus Cleveland (5-3) and Minnesota (3-5). WHAT’S WORKINGRunning back James Robinson has four touchdowns in three games, further establishing himself as the team’s most consistent player.

Good news for Jaguars: Kicker Josh Lambo returns to lineup after hip injury

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars had a good-news, bad-news afternoon on the injury front. Kicker Josh Lambo will make his return to the field on Sunday after missing a month with a hip injury. Jacksonville used four different kickers in his absence and that void was noticeable on a weekly basis. The loss of Jones hurts the defensive line rotation. Jacksonville also called up rookie tight end Ben Ellefson from the practice squad, released kicker Jon Brown and defensive end Josh Mauro.

Josh Lambo getting close to a return from injury for Jaguars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Kicker Josh Lambo has been designated to return from the Jaguars injury list, providing some hope that one of the most inconsistent positions on the team will soon get an upgrade. Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that he felt good about Lambo getting back out on the field in practice this week. Since Lambo went on the injured reserve list on Sept. 23 with a hip injury, the Jaguars have gone through a cycle of kickers with erratic results. Lambo has been superb since signing with the Jaguars in October 2017. He is 74 for 78 on field goals in that span, including a perfect 44 for 44 in games at TIAA Bank Field.

Fixing, not firing, is the path Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is focusing on

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Doug Marrone doesn’t see big changes making a big difference for the struggling Jaguars. If there were a change to make, Marrone said that he’d gladly be willing to make it. But the issues plaguing the Jaguars have been so widespread week to week that there’s not one simple fix to get things turned back around. A day after the Jaguars' fifth straight loss, Marrone said that there aren’t clear-cut personnel changes that would help. Marrone said that the team is trying to put players in the best position possible but knows that the losing skid opens him up to skepticism.

Porous D abounds: Lions-Jaguars could be high-scoring affair

The Lions (1-3) rank last in the league in rushing yards allowed, giving up more than 170 yards a game. The Jaguars (1-4) are near the bottom of every major defensive category, including 30th in total yards and last in yards per play. The teams are among a group of seven allowing more than 400 yards and about 30 points a game. So when they meet in Jacksonville on Sunday for the first time in eight years, it should be an ideal matchup for a high-scoring affair. “There’s a lot of respect for him in our building and from us as a coaching staff," Wash said.

Four takeaways: Why abandon the running game against Texans?

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)The Jaguars gave up 30 points for the fourth straight game, and the offense didn’t pull its weight in a 30-14 loss to the Texans in Houston. Here are my four biggest takeaways from the game:Afraid of the running game? Too many times, the Jaguars had chances to run the ball in key situations and instead, they opted to try to trick the Texans. This is not a sign of confidence in the offensive line and running back James Robinson. Case in point, two plays in the third quarter with the Jaguars inside the Texans' 10-yard line.

Jaguars waive Columbia grad Jernigan, sign kicker Hauschka

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars made a flurry of moves on Monday, including the release of former Lake City Columbia High star Timmy Jernigan and signing kicker Steven Hauschka. The roster activity picked up four days after the Jaguars were embarrassed on national television by the Dolphins, 33-13.

The Jaguars also touched up their kicking situation, releasing Brandon Wright and signing Steven Hauschka.

(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Ryan Fitzpatrick handles the Jacksonville Jaguars as well as anyone in the NFL. Fitzpatrick completed his first 12 passes — a career high — as Miami scored touchdowns on its first three drives for the first time since 2011. Fitzpatrick also ran for 39 yards and a score, his 37-year-old legs looking as fresh as any in Miami’s backfield. “As a group we just didn't get it done,” said Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew, who completed 30 of 42 passes for 275 yards and two turnovers. The Jaguars have won two in a row against the Bengals, notching victories in 2017 and 2019.

Injuries hurting Jaguars: Kicker Lambo goes to IR; knee injury shelves Linder

Kicker Josh Lambo will miss Thursday night’s primetime game against the Dolphins and will be placed on injured reserve with a hip injury. Lambo will miss at least three weeks due to the injury designation. Starting center Brandon Linder will also miss the Miami game, coach Doug Marrone said on Wednesday. At TIAA Bank Field, Lambo has been automatic. He is 74 for 78 in his career with the Jaguars, including a career-long of 57 yards in 2018.

Too many mistakes: Jaguars fall on the road to Titans

Bad bounces, special teams mistakes and no Minshew Magic on Sunday meant a 33-30 loss on the road to the Titans. The Jaguars erased a 14-point deficit and tied things with just over seven minutes to play, only to see the Titans (2-0) emerge at the finish. According to ESPN, Minshew is the first quarterback in Jaguars history to throw three touchdown passes in three consecutive games. Much like they did early against the Colts, the Jaguars looked off from the outset against the Titans. Linebacker Myles Jack had a pass breakup on third down on the Titans' go-ahead drive, but was flagged for pass interference.

Jaguars players march to support Black Lives Matter movement

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jaguars players, front office staff, their family and friends joined their voices with others across the nation Friday when they marched in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

That’s true history.”NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday also posted a video on social media condemning racism and the systematic oppression of black people.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Josh Lambo is doing his part to make sure as many dogs find a home as possible. On Friday, the Jaguars kicker announced on Instagram that he was partnering with Fur Sisters, a no-kill dog rescue shelter in Jacksonville Beach, to help dogs find their forever home. Lambo is offering to make it easier on people’s wallets if they adopt a new furry friend over the next week. Former defensive tackle Malik Jackson funded 181 pet adoptions in 2017. Another defensive lineman, Sheldon Day, adopted a terrier named, ‘Gloria,’ after she’d spent 359 days at the humane society.

Jaguars fall flat against Colts

The return of Nick Foles was supposed to be the launching point to the second half of the season. Instead, it put a stamp on just how much work lies in front for the Jaguars to become a competitive NFL team. The Jaguars (4-6) needed to close the season out strong to have a shot to reach the playoffs. The pair of 100-yard rushers marked the first time that the Colts had done that in franchise history. Brissett added a 5-yayrd rushing touchdown A 48-yard run by Williams on the following drive set up a Nyheim Hines 7-yard touchdown run and the blowout was on.
