Jaguars struggle with pass rush in losses this season

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) face criticism regarding their pass rush following two losses, including a recent defeat to Houston at Wembley Stadium. The team has not recorded a sack in two games this season, raising concerns about the effectiveness of their defensive line, particularly the decision to select Travon Walker over Aidan Hutchinson in the 2022 draft. Despite leading the NFL in run defense, the Jaguars rank 20th in total sacks, with key defensive plays falling short in critical game moments. The team has a bye this week, allowing time to address these issues before their next matchup.
