The Jacksonville Jaguars have decided to go back to quarterback Blake Bortles for the finale against the Houston Texans Niles Paul Color Rush Jersey , announcing on Wednesday that he would make the start. It’s not too much of a surprise, given how ineffective the offense remained after he was benched in favor of Cody Kessler.Kessler was pulled from the game on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, where after the opening touchdown drive D.J. Hayden Jersey , the offense went nonexistent. Bortles was inserted into the game and ran a few read option plays and led the team to a go-ahead field goal, and the game was later cemented for the Jaguars with a Telvin Smith pick-six.Bortles was benched after the Jaguars lost to the Buffalo Bills a few weeks ago and most figured that was the last we would see of Bortles as a Jaguars player barring injury. While Kessler didn’t necessarily get injured, it was clear with the state of the Jaguars offense as it is right now https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Cody-Kessler-Jersey , he was just going to get hit repeatedly when dropping back to pass. Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone intimated as much in his post game press conference when he explained why he went back to Bortles. That same line of thought went into his decision for this Sunday against the Texans as he said that Bortles’ mobility was a big reason he’ll be the starter for the season finale. Carlos Hyde is slated to serve as the backup to Damien Williams in the Chiefs backfield, but he’s not unhappy about that arrangement.Hyde signed with the Chiefs after being released by the Jaguars and has spent the offseason learning his role with his new team. That’s involved a lot of work as a pass catcher, which Hyde said is “like a dream come true” because of his affinity for that part of the game.“It’s not just a one-dimensional running back here https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com ,” Hyde said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. “You do it all. You line up at receiver. You actually run routes. You’re not just a decoy . . . You really get to showcase your ability. I didn’t know they used the running back so much in the passing game until I got here. It put a smile on my face.”Hyde only caught 10 passes while splitting last season between the Browns and Jaguars, but caught 59 passes for the 49ers in 2017 so he’s had some experience to draw on as he tries to make an impact in Kansas City this year.
