Shorts tied for a team-high with 10 targets and caught a 10-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter from Blake Bortles, who entered the game in relief of starter Chad Henne. Shorts is clearly the Jaguars' top receiver, but the team's less-than-stellar quarterback play restricts his value on a week-to-week basis. Bortles, who will start Week 4, should provide a spark to an otherwise-stagnant offense, but he still lacks experience, as evidenced by the pair of picks he threw Sunday.
