    Episode 146 of Touchdown Jaguars! was a fun one as we discussed the Jacksonville Jaguars' miracle win in London against the Philadelphia Eagles! Phil Barrera and James Johnson make their first quarter grades for the Jaguars, who have now played five games.

    The crew specifically graded the Jags' coaching staff, special teams, offense, and defense as they've managed to acquire a 4-1 record. This included a stint where the Jags have played the Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals, and New England Patriots.

    Tune in to hear how Jay and Phil feel about the Jags' performance throughout what may be the hardest part of their schedule.
