Post Jaguars vs. Packers - preseason game

Jaguars top Packers in preseason game

GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay Packers lost their unbeaten preseason record in a 21-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.

After sputtering under starting quarterback Byron Leftwich, the Jaguars’ offense woke up when backup David Garrard entered the game early in the third quarter. Playing against the Packers’ second-string defense, Garrard played two series and led the Jaguars (2-1) to two touchdowns.

Garrard opened with a 7-play, 45-yard drive capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by LaBrandon Toefield. He came back with a 25-yard touchdown pass to former Oregon tight end George Wrighster to put the Jaguars ahead 14-10 late in the second quarter.

Garrard was 6-for-7 for 97 yards and a touchdown before he was replaced by third-string quarterback Quinn Gray, who played despite the death of his father, a renowned high school football coach in South Florida, Thursday morning.

Leftwich was 6-of-16 for 67 yards, often dodging pressure from the Packers’ defensive line — the Jaguars were missing two starting offensive linemen — and overthrowing open receivers several times.

Re: Jaguars vs. Packers - preseason game

So the offense struggling under Leftwich... is that the QB's fault or a product of missing two starting linemen?

Without having seen the game, my guess would be the latter.
