The Jaguars have found it difficult to get anything going in the passing game for most of the season; it’s one reason they came into Week 13 ranked 23rd in passing DVOA. Sometimes, you need a bit of divine intervention to make things happen in an aerial sense, and Jacksonville actually had that happen with 12:33 left in the first quarter against the Vikings.
Quarterback Mike Glennon was trying to hit receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. from the Minnesota 28-yard line, and it appeared for a split second that cornerback Kris Boyd might come away with the ball. Instead, Gladney missed the incoming football, it bounced off his shoulder pad, and right into Shenault’s hands in the end zone. Boyd was beside himself, and safety Harrison Smith could only look on in disgust.

Is it better to be lucky than good? In the case of the Jaguars’ passing game, that is certainly the case here.
