Defensive lineCoach Urban Meyer said that he wants to build a defense from the line and work back from there. With Leonard Williams getting tagged by the Giants, Tomlinson is the top interior lineman in free agency, and a player who the Jaguars should make a priority. Middle linebacker Joe Schobert, one of the final major free agent signings of Dave Caldwell’s tenure, was an above-average player last season.

Jackson went to the bench after throwing his third touchdown pass of the game early in the fourth quarter and the Ravens up 40-7.

Robinson rushed for 35 yards on 16 carries and left the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.

Its not when Roger Goodell said black lives matter that now everybody can say it," Judon said. I think we should have been questioning why Roger Goodell didnt say black lives matter when he was born, or when he became commissioner or when he was re-elected commissioner. Black lives should always matter.
