| (MySportsbook) - Once upon a time, the Jacksonville Jaguars were the NFL's "it" team. They had a dashing young head coach in Jack Del Rio, dynamic talent at the skill positions and after two playoff appearances and four consecutive second- place finishes in the AFC South, were becoming a perennial thorn in the side of Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts for division supremacy. But instead of taking the next step, Del Rio's Jaguars took a backward step. And three seasons later, they're still scrambling to f |

Morrison is a six-year NFL veteran who spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who elected not to re-sign him this offseason. The Bills have a policy of not announcing acquisitions until the player has been signed. Morrison has been a full-time starter since 2005, when he was drafted in the third round by Oakland. He spen |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Few NFL coaches last eight seasons with just one playoff victory. Jack Del Rio beat the odds, getting a second chance to rebuild the Jacksonville Jaguars. Owner Wayne Weaver stuck with Del Rio in January and gave him another shot at getting the small-market franchise out of a pattern of mediocrity. If it doesn't happen, Del Rio and his assistants probably will be gone. So Del Rio will be under as much scrutiny this season as the quarterback competition between David Garrard and rook |

That pleased coach Bill Belichick, although he said Friday there's a lot of work to be done following the team's 47-12 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night in the preseason opener. Less than two weeks after their first practice in pads, the Patriots committed just four penalties, didn't allow a touchdown and scored six. Belichick said his players' fundamentals and techniques were |

| Foxboro, MA (MySportsbook) - Rookie Stevan Ridley ran for a pair of touchdowns and caught a Ryan Mallett pass for another score, and the New England Patriots began the preseason with a 47-12 triumph over the new-look Jacksonville Jaguars. Five months after a lockout began, it was back to game action, but not for Tom Brady. The Patriots starting quarterback dressed for the game, but instead yielded to Brian Hoyer. The second-string QB completed 15-of-21 passes for 171 yards, including an 11-yard score to Taylor P |

| In Dana Holgorsen's only year as the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, the school set records for scoring and, more importantly, wins. Todd Monken gets to pick up where Holgorsen left off. Coach Mike Gundy hired Monken away from the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars to take the reins of Holgorsen's offense, or at least one that closely resembles it. When Holgorsen left for West Virginia, Gundy set out to find someone willing to adapt to the existing offense instead of installing something new. It only made se |
