Remember 2018 when the #Jaguars offense kept wasting plays by throwing bad back shoulders to Moncreif? Minshew to Chark is a much better connection pic.twitter.com/DVUJsafUtQ

Play 12: Josh Allen makes a veteran move to force a fumble on third-down

One of the best things about Yannick Ngakoue has always been his awareness to reach for the ball even if he isn't getting to the QB. 7th overall pick Josh Allen is the same type of heady player, it looks like. #Jaguars pic.twitter.com/AMju3s0EFZ
