Passing increases have bypassed Jacksonville

Posted Jun. 11 at 09:33 AM

Passing production is at an all-time high right now. Teams are passing for more yards and touchdowns than ever before.

So all the more embarrassing for the Jaguars that they were still unable to generate much of a passing attack last year.

Jacksonville ranked last in passing last year (below even the Tim Tebow Broncos). And they combined yards-touchdown numbers were worse than all but six teams in the last 10 years.

Below is the list of the 30 worst passing offenses, using the scoring system of 6 points for touchdowns and 1 point for every 10 yards. Only one team from 2011 is on this list – Jacksonville.
