JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has quite a streak going against AFC South rival Houston.Bortles has thrown a Pick-6 in three consecutive games against the Texans, tying an NFL record set by Peyton Manning.Ive got to be a better tackler, Bortles joked Wednesday.Or a better passer.Bortles has had 11 of his 50 interceptions returned for touchdowns during his three NFL seasons, a statistic that made headlines two weeks ago when his Pick-6 total surpassed his career wins (10).The Texans (7-6), who host the Jaguars (2-11) on Sunday, have been the biggest beneficiaries.Kareem Jackson returned a pick 42 yards for a touchdown in Houstons 24-21 victory in Jacksonville last month. Jackson also brought one back 27 yards for a score in Houstons 30-6 win last January. And Andre Hal started the streak by taking a 31-yarder the distance in Houstons 31-20 victory in Jacksonville in October 2015.Two of them for sure have been kind of long, out-routes to the field that were either late or I should have just gotten off of and gone to the next progression, Bortles said. I remember the last two. There was one last year on a slant that he housed at Houston and then obviously the one earlier this year are the two I remember for sure.They probably run together. After all, Bortles already has three interceptions returned for touchdowns this season. Those came in Jacksonvilles last five games.Another one Sunday in Houston and Bortles would become the first player in NFL history to throw four Pick-6s against the same team in four straight games. Manning had three returned for scores in three consecutive games against San Diego (2010-12).Thats something Ill try not to do, Bortles said. I think they do a good job. Their corners kind of jump at stuff, kind of recognizing routes and being aggressive, so I think its on me to kind of make better decisions.Bortles has completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 3,187 yards this season, with 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His failure to match or improve on last years numbers -- he ranked second in the league with 35 TD passes -- is a big reason Jacksonville has lost eight consecutive games and fallen well short of preseason expectations.Still, the Jaguars have had chances.They have had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter in five of the last six games. They had 11 possessions in those situations, delivering six punts, three turnovers on downs, an interception and a fumble.Regardless of the losing streak and the changes that are surely coming after the season, Bortles believes theres something to be gained by playing well in the final three games -- all against division teams.One of them is going to go play in the playoffs, Bortles said. Every team wants to own the division theyre in. So thats definitely still our goal and we got a chance to go play these three guys. I dont think spoiler is the right word to use. I think you want to more so get the chance to say, `How are we against one of these playoff teams and stack up?You really dont want to talk about it or think about it, but lets build something going into the offseason for next year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Curt...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Butch Jones has a different kind of team this season.According to some players, thats allowing him to be a different type of coach.Jones spent the first few years of his Tennessee tenure attempting to restock the talent base and instill a winning culture. He has handled those assignments well enough to give No. 9 Tennessee its highest preseason ranking since 2005 heading into the opener Thursday night against Appalachian State.I think hes a lot more laid-back, senior linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said. I dont feel like hes trying to truly build a program anymore. Weve kind of set our standards and established who we are, and now were just trying to mold people into who we are. I think its made it a lot easier and allowed him to lay back a little bit more and put a lot more faith in the (assistant) coaches as well as the players.Jones initially said he hadnt thought much about the ways in which he has adapted his style since his arrival at Tennessee. But he later acknowledged the maturity of this roster and how it has impacted his approach.Whats helped is I think our coaches and myself know our football team a little more, Jones said. Growing up as a son of a chief of police, Ive been interested in studying human behavior all my life, so I love to get in their mindsets. I love to see what this football team needs, and I take great pride in that.But I think youre constantly evolving. If you dont, thats when you stop growing.Jones was Tennessees fourth coach in eight seasons when he took over in 2013. Tennessee went 5-7 in Jones debut year for its fourth straight losing season. After going 7-6 in 2014, the Vols finished 9-4 last year and closed with a six-game winning streak.I think he had to be tough when he first got here, said offensive tackle Brett Kendrick, a fourth-year junior. We needed to play his style of play, and we didnt have that when he first got here. I feel like weve really adjusted to him, and hes also startiing to treat us really good too.dddddddddddd Hes being more positive with us.He has more reason to be positive now.Jones noted that Tennessee played the most true freshmen in 2014 of any Football Bowl Subdivision program that season. Jones needed to make sure they were as ready as possible for the grind of the Southeastern Conference.The hardest thing when you take over a football program is you have to make sure that you lay that standard of expectations day in and day out, and you do not compromise from those standards and expectations, Jones said. The culture has to be set in place. Sometimes youre going to be a little bit different the first couple of years because you have to make sure there are some things that are non-negotiables in our football program.Now that the culture has been established, Tennessee faces the challenge of living up to its status as the nations No. 9 team and the preseason favorite to win the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division title. The Vols havent earned an SEC crown since their 1998 national title and havent won the East since 2007.Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield compares Tennessee to the 2015 Clemson team that reached the College Football Playoff championship game.They have everything in place and, in my opinion, starting the season, theyre ahead of... where Clemson was last year, said Satterfield, whose team lost to Clemson 41-10 last September.Jones responded to Satterfields remark by saying hes just been consumed with making sure his teams ready mentally and physically to deal with Appalachian State. At least now he has the type of veteran team that makes that task somewhat easier.I trust these guys, Jones said. I know them. I care about them greatly, and theyve also earned my trust. I have great, great confidence in them.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
