JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles said he feels personally responsible for offensive coordinator Greg Olson’s firing.

Had he played the way he did in 2015, Olson would still be putting together this week’s game plan for Kansas City.

"If I would have played well, better, the way I should, whatever you want to say, there would never be a coordinator switch," Bortles said Monday. "We would still be here with [former offensive coordinator] Jedd Fisch, I guess.

"It’s always on the quarterback. It’s on the offense. If you play well, no one would have to get fired and no one would have to get cut. That didn’t happen, and unfortunately, someone has to take the blame for it. Nowhere near was it all Greg Olson’s fault."

The Jaguars are 31st in the NFL in rushing, last in third-down conversions, 25th in total offense and 13th in pass offense. Bortles is completing 60 percent of his passes for 1,904 yards and 12 touchdowns with nine interceptions, but he has compiled most of those stats while playing with double-digit deficits. Seven TD passes have come when the Jaguars have been trailing by 10 or more points.

The Jaguars are averaging just 72.6 yards per game rushing, which puts them on pace to set a franchise record for fewest rushing yards in a season. The Jaguars have run the ball less than 20 times in three games this season, including 27 carries in the past two games combined.

The Jaguars managed just 60 yards of offense and three first downs in the first half of last Thursday night’s 36-22 loss at Tennessee. Bortles completed 8-of-16 passes for 64 yards, and the offense crossed their own 31-yard line just once in five possessions.

Olson was fired two days later.

"You could say he was calling bad plays, or you could say he was calling perfectly fine plays, and you just weren’t executing them," Bortles said. "That’s why I don’t know. We’ll never know. We know what we were doing wasn’t necessarily working and it wasn’t that it was a bad play call or that it was all the players not executing.

"I think it was a combination of a lot of things not working and not coming together every single Sunday."
