You never know which Jaguars team is going to show up on a week-to-week basis. In Week 5, the dominant Jaguars defense showed up and put on a show. The team intercepted Ben Roethlisberger five times, had two defensive touchdowns and 12 passes defensed. Offensively, the Jaguars leaned on Leonard Fournette. The back rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Jacksonville's 30-9 win over the Steelers.
