Stat of the day
In 2010, NFL teams with a 100-yard rusher in a game posted an 87-34 record (.719), a winning percentage that rated higher than clubs boasting either a 100-yard receiver (.538, 92-79) or a 300-yard passer (.490, 47-49). It marked the third time in the past four seasons that NFL clubs with 100-yard rushers in a game registered a winning percentage above .700. The Jaguars had a 100-yard rusher in eight games in 2010 and recorded a 6-2 record (.750) in those games.

The last word
"Just continue as a football team to develop. We talked about defensively we are taking some steps; we want to continue to take steps. Offensively we have a need to be much cleaner, much sharper. We need to get in the end zone; not been nearly efficient enough and we're trying to remain patient as we're going through things but it's time to get some things going."
