NFL power rankings Week 3: comparing with Elliot Harrison
Phil Sears-USA TODAY Sports
1-1. Jacksonville Jaguars. 24. player. 52. <p><strong>Harrison: 18</strong></p> <p>I think Harrison’s ranking of the Jaguars at No. 18 stems solely from the fact that the Jags beat the Dolphins and he wants to reward them for that. I get his reasoning, but the Jaguars are not better than the Dolphins. At least not yet. So for the time being, I’m putting them at No. 24, which is pretty darn good considering we’re talking about a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since the Bush administration.</p><div class=. AFC South
Good on Blake Bortles for piloting the Jags on a game-winning drive. Also, good on Allen Robinson and his statement game; the sophomore pro put together a stat line of 155 yards and two scores on six catches.
It’s good that the Jaguars pulled off the upset in Week 2, because it will be much, much harder for them to beat the Patriots in New England. Considering how weak the AFC South is this year, however, the Jaguars can’t be ruled out even if they fall to 1-2.
