The Jacksonville Jaguars offense is now in the hands of Blake Bortles.
After getting the nod in the second half against the Indianapolis Colts, Bortles went 14-of-24 passing for 223 yards with two TDs and two INTs.
It was enough for Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley to name Bortles the definitive starter heading into next week when they travel to take on the San Diego Chargers.
The Jacksonville offense desperately needed to be invigorated after losing 34-17 and 41-10 in Weeks 1 and 2, and facing a 30-0 halftime deficit in Week 3 with QB Chad Henne behind the helm.
Henne was yanked after the first half against the Colts, going 4-7 for 33 yards and zero first downs. Bortles’ first NFL career completed pass ended up going for a first down.
Despite the two interceptions, Bortles ended up posting a solid 82.5 quarterback rating.
Fans can catch Bortles’ first start next Sunday, Sept. 28 at 4:05 p.m. on CBS.
