The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the most talked about-about teams entering the NFL season.
They were projected to be a dark horse out of the AFC, and judging by their schedule; it wasn’t shocking to see multiple people predicting they would run away with the divisional title.
Notably, they still have an opportunity to do so, but mostly because of the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans’ late-season woes.
The Jaguars have failed to live up to the expectations, especially during the last six weeks or so.
That’s why NFL analyst Craig Carton went so far as to call them ‘a joke,’ adding that they become an embarrassment and mocking the fans who called him out when he predicted this would happen a month ago.
“The Jaguars are a joke. What an embarrassment they’ve become.”

Talking on The Carton Show, Carton blamed Trevor Lawrence for the team’s shortcomings.
Lawrence reportedly stated that they look like a team that doesn’t practice and that he doesn’t know where those problems are coming from, to which Carton jokingly responded that he’s the problem.
Trevor also said “it doesn’t even look like we practice.” #Jaguars

Lawrence is undeniably talented and has proven to be one of the biggest difference-makers in the league when he’s at his best, but that hasn’t been the case over the past six weeks or so.
Lawrence needs to do a better job of taking care of the football and stop turning the ball over as often as he does.
And while the Jaguars still have a legitimate chance to win out, their once-promising season might no longer be that, and they’re not going to win a playoff game playing like this.
