The Jaguars have extended the NFL’s longest current touchdown drought to open games by failing to score a touchdown on their opening possession. Jacksonville’s streak is now at 23 games after Bortles’ interception. He has also threw opening drive picks against Green Bay and Chicago.  Despite this struggle, Jaguars quarterback, Blake Bortles says that as a team they are a work in progress and need to work together to make better plays.  Bortles also knows that no matter what, all that matters is what the team does on the field and they need to focus on going out there and putting their best foot forward.<
