The Jaguars may indeed be the best two-win team Rex Ryan has ever seen. They may even be good enough to beat Ryan’s five-win team.

Jacksonville has scored a touchdown on the opening drive of Sunday’s game at Buffalo. According to the FOX broadcast, it’s the first opening-drive touchdown for the Jaguars since Week Two of the 2015 season.

The Jags drove 75 yards on 11 plays; running back Chris Ivory capped the effort with a two-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Blake Bortles completed one of two passes for 10 yards, but he added 34 yards on a pair of scrambles.

The game marks the return of former Bills coach Doug Marrone to Buffalo. The Jacksonville offensive line coach/assistant head coach opted to exercise after the 2014 season an option to walk away with the balance of his contract.
