“The Jaguars had a half-hearted first half and made a stunning comeback after falling behind 22-zip in the third quarter,” Edholm said.

“Travon Walker’s spectacular fumble recovery returned for a TD spurred the rally, but it ended up being the longest play of the game for the Jags outside of Tank Bigsby’s 41-yard strike.

“Maybe they need to get Walker some goal line catches on offense. Anyway, after the Eagles missed the field goal attempt, the Jags had a chance to score a stunner at the Philadelphia 13-yard line, trailing 28-23 with 1:42 left. But then Trevor Lawrence was forced to pass to RB3 D’Ernest Johnson, who was picked off in the end zone.

Edholm acknowledges how many injuries have hurt the Jaguars this season. At this point in the season, every team in the league is dealing with injuries. But few face more injuries to key contributors like the Jaguars.

“Injuries certainly took a toll on the roster, but this was a devastating event for Lawrence and Doug Pederson.” Edholm said.

“The Jags also fumbled the game’s opening punt deep in their own territory and allowed a TD run on third-and-17 late in the first half in addition to a late pick. These are the anatomy of a lost game and a lost season.”
