NASHVILLE Corey Grant Jersey , Tenn. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars‘ defense followed up a shutout with a washout.A defense that prides itself as one of the NFL's best got embarrassed on a national stage by Derrick Henry in the Jaguars' 30-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night."It was sad out there," Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey said. Henry stiff-armed three Jaguars on an NFL record-tying 99-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and spent the rest of the night running all over a defense that seemed like it would have rather been anywhere else. Henry finished the night with a franchise-record 238 yards rushing and four touchdowns on just 17 carries.Jacksonville's toothless offense generally leaves its defense with no margin for error. The Jaguars produced a single-digit scoring total for the fifth time this season Thursday. They have exceeded 21 points just once in their last nine games.So if the defense isn't dominant, the Jaguars have little chance of winning. That defense was virtually flawless Sunday as the Jaguars snapped a seven-game skid with a 6-0 victory over Indianapolis that resulted in Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's first career shutout loss.But a defense that could do no wrong against the Colts did very little right Thursday."We pitched a shutout to a top-five offense, and then you come back and you're sitting here right now and got drummed like that on national TV," Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson said. "Who would want to watch the Jaguars on national television when you let Derrick Henry run for (almost) 250? He could have run for 300 today, if we're being honest with ourselves. If I was his coach, I would have let him break the record."The difference was that the Colts continually threw the ball against a Jacksonville defense that has allowed 15 touchdown passes all season, matching Minnesota for the fewest of any NFL team. Jacksonville is more vulnerable against the run, which helps explain why the Jaguars have lost to the Titans four straight times."We've got to stop the run," Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye said. "Everybody tried to talk about like how our defense is back. People have got to realize Indy played to our strengths. They tried to pass the ball (nearly) 60 times. (Tennessee) didn't really try to pass the ball today. They just ran the ball and they dominated. That's been the common denominator for the last four times we played them."Tennessee (7-6) took the lead for good by driving 73 yards on the game's opening possession and scoring on Henry's 3-yard touchdown run. Henry's second touchdown was far more impressive and capped a four-play sequence that essentially decided the game.Jacksonville (4-9) trailed 7-2 and had second-and-goal at the 1 with a chance to take the lead in the second quarter, but the Jaguars failed to score. Leonard Fournette was stopped on a second-down run, quarterback Cody Kessler couldn't connect with Tommy Bohanon on third down and Fournette was stopped again on fourth down.Then Henry delivered the knockout blow.Henry cut around the left end and headed down the sideline. His first stiff-arm knocked cornerback A.J. Bouye out of the play about 20 yards downfield. Henry later used his arm to toss linebacker Leon Jacobs to the ground and then stiff-armed linebacker Myles Jack out of the way as well.The 2015 Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama then sailed into the end zone and celebrated with a Heisman pose. The only other NFL player ever to score on a 99-yard run was Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, who did it for the Dallas Cowboys against the Minnesota Vikings in 1983."He knows how to use that stiff arm good," Bouye said. "In my mind https://www.jaguarsfanstore.com/Marcell-Dareus-Jersey , I was like, ‘Let me slow him up.' I slowed him up and he stiff-armed two more guys. That's when you realize how good his stiff arm is."Henry wasn't finished imposing his will on Jacksonville's defense.He scored two more touchdowns in the third quarter — one on a 16-yard run up the middle and another on a 54-yard burst around right end. His 238-yard performance broke the franchise record previously held by Chris Johnson, who ran for 228 yards against Jacksonville on Nov. 1, 2009."It was like Little League out there," Gipson said. "Every time he touched the ball, he was scoring, it felt like."Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell insisted the Jaguars didn't give up even as they missed plenty of tackles and couldn't bring down Henry. Campbell cited a goal-line stand the Jaguars made after the Titans already had built a 30-9 lead."We didn't play good enough, but nobody quit," Campbell said. "That's not in our DNA." What a difference a year makes. Last season, the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars met in the playoffs. This season, both teams have won just three times in 10 games. The Jaguars head to Orchard Park, New York to take on the Bills on Sunday. To help us better prepare for this matchup and learn more about the 2018 Buffalo Bills, I spoke with Corey Giacovelli from Buffalo Rumblings — SB Nation’s website for all things Buffalo Bills. I asked Corey about Josh Allen, the confidence in the coaching staff Josh Lambo Color Rush Jersey , the very good Buffalo defense and more. Check it it below: 1. After playoff droughts for both teams that spanned several years, the Jaguars and Bills each made the playoffs last season and met in the Wild Card round. Fast forward to now and both franchise have struggled to build off of that success. For Jacksonville this was unexpected, but for Buffalo, perhaps this was known due to changes at quarterback and elsewhere. Is the fan base confident in the direction the franchise is heading? Corey: The fan base is hit or miss depending on if they understand what a rebuild entails. Making the playoffs last year was lucky to be honest because we needed a result that was out of our hands. The problem with making it was that fans expected us to be in contention yet again when that wasn’t the case since the team was still in rebuild mode. Fans will be able to make it through this season, but next year is when they will get rowdy and upset if there are not the results they anticipate. 2. What are your honest thoughts about Josh Allen? Of course he has missed the past few games, but is he the future of this team, are you wary or are you taking more of a wait-and-see approach with Allen? Corey: Allen is a wait-and-see approach because the steps he has to overcome are mental. He clearly has the arm strength and athleticism to be successful in this league, but the area he has to improve on the most is handling blitzes. We saw him early in the season failing to diagnose where the blitz was coming from and shifting protection in response to it. That is the biggest area I am looking at when he returns because that is what his development will depend on. 3. Prior to the bye week, the Bills offense had an offensive explosion with Matt Barkley under center and LeSean McCoy looking like his old self. It sounds as if Allen will draw the start at quarterback against Jacksonville on Sunday, but who would you rather see at QB against Jacksonville’s tough pass defense and why?Corey: I want to see Allen because it looked as if last week the offense was being opened up in response to his return. We saw the team add speedy receivers to the roster and pushing the passing game vertically down the field. Yes, Barkley completed a lot of passes down the field, but they did not look pretty at all. With Allen letting the ball fly, I feel he is the best fit for this offense. Barkley may have gotten lucky last week due to the appearance of the Jets quitting, but the Jaguars defense is a whole new animal. 4. Speaking of pass defense Ronnie Harrison Jersey , Buffalo is actually now the No. 1 ranked passing defense and No. 2 ranked total defense (also No. 10 against the run). On the flip side, the Bills rank No. 31 in total offense and No. 32 in passing offense. How has the defense been able to help mitigate the offensive woes and put this team in position to win a few games? Corey: It starts on the back end of the defense taking away the passing game. Much like the Jags have (Jalen) Ramsey, we have Tre’Davious White who is that guy you can depend on to lock down the number one receiver on the other side of the ball. Mixed with that is a front seven that has been consistently getting to the quarterback, something the team was lacking last season. We have two young linebackers in the middle of the defense in Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds, so most of the time the performance of the defense depends on how those two are performing against the run and play action passes. 5. What is the confidence level in Sean McDermott and the coaching staff? Corey: The confidence level is at about 50 percent because of two reasons. The first is that we have full faith in the defense that he was able to build and the quality of play he has been able to get out of a lot of young guys. The problem is the lack of faith on offense is obvious. McDermott has shown nothing yet that he is able to build an offense that can consistently put up points. Next season will be his third with the team and with the salary space the team has, people are expecting the roster to have sufficient talent on both sides of the ball. If the offense next year is what it is like this year, you may find him on the hot seat. Bonus: score prediction? 13-6 JaguarsDouble Bonus: Is Bills Mafia still lighting tables on fire and jumping through them? Corey: I think so but the police has been preventing it near the stadium, hahaThank you to Corey for taking the time to answer my questions.
