No one can run the ball on the Jaguars.
Through five games this season, the most rushing yards any player has gained in a game against the Jaguars was 39, by Broncos running back Jonah Coleman.. That makes the Jaguars the first team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger not to allow an opposing player to rush for 40 or more yards in the first five games of a season.
The last team not to allow a 40-yard rusher in the first five games was the 1969 Cowboys.
Last year, the most rushing yards any player gained in a game against the Jaguars was 74, by Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The Jaguars have now gone 23 consecutive games, counting last year's playoff game, without allowing a 75-yard rusher.
Opposing running backs have totaled 83 carries for 210 yards against the Jaguars this season, an average of just 2.5 yards per carry. That's by far the best defense against running backs in the NFL this season.
On Sunday in London the Jaguars face the Texans, who rank 31st in the league with 395 rushing yards this season.
