A lot of Jaguars do little in lopsided loss to Cowboys
The minor contributors outnumbered the major ones Sunday for the Jacksonville Jaguars - it's no wonder they lost badly to Dallas. The best of the bunch was wideout Allen Robinson, who caught five passes for 60 yards. Tight end Clay Harbor chipped in with three catches for 28 yards while running back Jordan Todman added three receptions for 27 yards and two rushes for six yards. Also contributing were tight end Nic Jacobs (1-14) and wideouts Marqise Lee (1-13), Ace Sanders (1-10) and Allen Hurns (1-9). Running back Toby Gerhart managed two yards on four carries for Jacksonville, which has embarked on its bye week.

Jaguars pass catchers contribute in loss
The Jacksonville Jaguars backup pass catchers were able to get in some work Week 4. Jacksonville spread the ball around quite a bit, allowing 10 different receivers to come up with a reception. Allen Robinson made some noise, hauling in five passes for 38 yards. He was targeted seven times, which was second on the club. Mike Brown had one catch for 12 yards. Fullback Will Ta'ufo'ou also hauled in one pass, gaining 4 yards. Nic Jacobs had the least yardage of all receivers on the day, but had the only touchdown. In the second quarter, Jacobs came down with a 2 yard touchdown pass from Blake Bortles. They'll take on the Steelers Week 5.
