(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Quarterback Mike Glennon is getting another start for the Jacksonville Jaguars even though Gardner Minshew is fully healthy. Coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday heโs sticking with Glennon at Minnesota (5-6) on Sunday. It probably helped that Glennon was solid in his first start since Week 4 of the 2017 season. Glennon didnโt have a turnover โ the first time since the season opener Jacksonville played a clean game โ and wasnโt sacked. โThereโs no doubt that we are going to try to win every single game that we play,โ Marrone said.
The Latest: Home teams now 65-65-1 in this pandemic season
That means that going into tonightโs Saints-Buccaneers showdown, home teams are 65-65-1 so far this season. That homefield advantage has largely been erased with sparse crowds or no fans at games because of the coronavirus pandemic. Las Vegas though has taken control on its first two drives of the second half. Neither had started an NFL game, but both have been in the league much longer than DiNucci. The Tennessee Titans already lost left tackle Taylor Lewan for the season, and now they are without left guard Rodger Saffold.
3 things to watch Sunday in the Texans vs. Jags game
The Houston Texans and Jacksonvile Jaguars are both 1-6, with Houstonโs only win coming against Jacksonville. This game will look a little different than the first game with the Jaguars bringing in a new quarterback. Johnson hasnโt broken 100 yards this year, but the closest he got came vs. Jacksonville in the Texans only win. The Texans are projected to win this game, and we all know Houston loves to run the ball on early downs (even to its detriment). Johnson had 17 carries vs. Jacksonville at NRG Stadium, and should get plenty of opportunities.
