Despite registering a better season than in 2020, it didn’t feel like the Jacksonville Jaguars were a better team in 2021. A lot of that was due to how much the offense struggled under the new regime, even before factoring in the injuries the unit endured.
However, if there were some positives to take from the season it was that the defense took a step in the right direction. And while the unit was far from elite, they left fans feeling as though there was something to build on.
Among those who flashed at times was pass-rusher Josh Allen, who ended the season with his second-highest sack total (7.5) and a career-high in tackles with 71. He especially turned heads with his performance against the Buffalo Bills where he garnered a sack, forced fumble, and an interception against the quarterback Josh Allen.
