The title of last week’s picks column was “talking ourselves off the Jaguars and fading primetime Kirk Cousins.” Whoops!
Cousins wasn’t great, but did enough to beat the Patriots even on a day where his defense allowed Mac by-god Jones to throw for nearly 400 yards. Jacksonville, on the other hand, got out-gained by nearly 100 yards against the Baltimore Ravens, wisely opted to go for two late in a one-point game and was rewarded by the football gods with a win.
