The first career start for rookie quarterback Blake Bortles was at the center of the focus of fans and members of the media. Players were determined to play to Head Coach Gus Bradley's mantra of getting better. The Jaguars held a lead at various points in the first half, but were unable to come away with their first win of 2014. Optimism remained following the loss, as the Jaguars get set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
