Week 8 Other Games Thread

The Jags are now 0-10 when Bortles throws for over 300 yards in his career. What a bizarre stat.

Is is really? I remember a stat that teams have a better record when they have a 100 yard rusher than when they have a 300 yard passer. That was a while ago and probably isn't true anymore, but I bet it is still a meaningful thing to look at.

The truth is the Jags haven't been a winning franchise in some time, and Bortles 'benefits' from garbage time stats. PFT published his career numbers by quarter, and they tell a story

First quarter: 1,598 yards, 4 touchdowns
Second quarter: 2,356 yards, 15 touchdowns
Third quarter: 1,912 yards, 13 touchdowns
Fourth quarter: 3,364 yards 26 touchdowns

When PFT published those, I wondered how they compared to the average, but no one posted those.
