Jaguars’ frustrating loss leads to Yannick Ngakoue flipping Titans off

The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered an embarrassing 42-20 loss against the Tennessee Titans, leading to the team’s third straight 20-plus point loss. Of course, with the fanbase already on edge from Shad Khan’s latest interview, the Jags embarrassing display once again riled up the fanbase, who simply want to see their beloved Jags win.

However, the fans seemingly weren’t the only ones upset by the 42-20 display as defensive end Yannick Ngakoue ended the game giving the Titans’ sideline a piece of his mind with a certain one-fingered gesture late in the fourth quarter.

Ngakoue’s display comes after a game in which he had a pretty solid performance, accumulating two tackles and another strip-sack to his résumé, so it’s easy to see where the frustration came from — though it’s still not excusable.

The fourth-year pass rusher is in a contract year and many fans believe he has well earned an extension. In just four seasons, Ngakoue has already surpassed all but Tony Brackens on the all-time sack list in franchise history, with an impressive 35.5 sacks to his name. Regardless of who the staff is, time is surely running out to re-sign the star pass-rusher.

Ngakoue unquestionably isn’t the only player frustrated after this rough season as his teammates can’t be happy either. That said, changes will likely come and we will be sure to keep a close eye on the key decisions that will be made in the coming weeks.
