Jaguars snap counts from Week 1 loss to Commanders
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ regular season debut didn’t go according to plan for the team, but a hard-fought loss was far from the worst possible outcome. They managed to stay competitive with the Washington Commanders in all four quarters, even managing to take a late lead that had them in a position to sneak out with a road win to kick off their 2022 campaign.
It was a heartbreaking loss for the Duval faithful, but the Jaguars are set for a resounding rebound in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts and will rely on the same contributors that got them so close to victory against Washington.
Here are the snap counts from Jacksonville’s loss to the Commanders in Week 1:
