WELCOME TO MY HOUSE PARTY

HOUSE PICKS
• CB Davon House has registered a career-high three INTs in 2015,
doing so against TEN’s Marcus Mariota in Week 13 and BAL’s Joe Flacco
(twice) in Week 10 (all three of his INTs have come on the road). House’s
three INTs, equaled by Paul Posluszny this season, are the most by a
Jaguars player since Derek Cox (four) and Posluszny (three) in 2013.
BRINGING THE HOUSE
• In Week 10 at Baltimore, CB Davon House intercepted Ravens QB
Joe Flacco twice, increasing his career INT total from two to four. It
was the first time in House’s 49-game NFL career that he intercepted
two passes in a single game.
• House is the first Jaguars player with two INTs in a single game
since CB Derek Cox against Dallas on Oct. 31, 2010. He is also the
first player in team history to record two INTs and eight-plus tackles
in a single game (only such performance in 2015).
AGAINST THE RUN
• Jacksonville’s defense ranks third in the NFL in opponent rushing
average (3.58), trailing only Denver (3.23) and Tampa Bay (3.44).

season, Jacksonville is averaging nearly five passes defensed per game
(4.7), putting them on pace for 75. The last time the Jaguars produced
75-plus passes defensed in a single season was in 2006 (86).
