Jacksonville Jaguars fell hard in their second preseason game, losing 34-17 to the Carolina Panthers after a strong debut. Despite the loss, there were encouraging flashes: backup QB Nick Mullens played well, young draft picks Josh Cameron and CJ Williams made key catches, and veteran Ameer Abdullah delivered a solid run game. The punt return unit also held its own. However, the run defense struggled significantly, and more concerning were the turnovers — two lost, none forced — and dismal red zone efficiency. Offense went into the end zone twice without scoring, while defense let Panthers convert four of five red zone trips. Coaches will be zeroing in on these issues as the regular season nears — but with preseason still early, there’s time to fix them.
