1st quarter, 13:01, 2nd and 10
Dumb playcall by the Jags.
They give Bortles the option to hand it over to Chris Ivory up the gut or tuck it and go himself. He fakes the handoff to Ivory and runs right into the teeth of a Chiefs D that has completely swallowed the line of scrimmage, gaining four.
Chiefs are again in nickel. Hali is technically a down lineman off the LT's outside shoulder, Poe is right over the LG, and Chris Jones is over the RG. Dee Ford is upright off the RT's shoulder.
Ford explodes, unblocked (by design) and eats up Ivory. Ford's descent forces Bortles to tuck it and run right to where Ford vacated. DJ was walled out of the play by a lineman.
Chris Jones read it and was just a step behind Bortles, managing to bring him down as he cross the line of scrimmage. Parker would have forced Bortles down a yard or two later.
