The Jaguars hit a new low Sunday during their 25-16 loss to the Vikings. They were flagged for a penalty that had not been called in nearly 20 years, when Jacksonville kicker Jason Myers was called for a delay of game … on a kickoff.

First time I ever saw this in a football game. Jacksonville just go a delay of game on the kickoff — Northern Star (@Northernstar126) December 11, 2016

Like Donovan McNabb with ties, we didn’t even know this was possible. But apparently it is. It just never happens because teams have from the time after they score up until the refs blow the whistle for the kickoff to get the play-call in. And then they get 25 seconds after the whistle to kick the ball. A delay of game in that situation is simply inexcusable.

Somehow, the Jaguars were not able to get the kick off in time and were flagged. The last time a delay of game was called on a kickoff in an NFL game, according to Pro-Football-Reference’s Play Index, was in 1998 during a Bengals-Broncos game when Cincinnati’s Lee Johnson was flagged for letting the play clock run out.

The Jaguars are now 2-11 and have lost eight games in a row. They are a bad football team.
