Brian Thomas Jr.’s Drops May Force the Jaguars to Restart Their Decades-Long Search for a No. 1 WR

Sunday, Brian Thomas Jr.'s recurring drops have raised doubts as observers question whether his play is doing more harm than good after six games, including a third-down drop versus the Seattle Seahawks.
Late last year Thomas caught 50 passes for 675 yards and five touchdowns over his final seven games and made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, prompting Jacksonville to trade Christian Kirk and cut Gabe Davis at a $19 million salary-cap cost.
This season Thomas has 24 catches on 48 targets for 334 yards and a touchdown, and he has dropped at least five passes, including a Week 2 goal-line drop at Cincinnati.
On Monday, Jacksonville Jaguars leave for London to spend the week working on cleaner football ahead of their Sunday game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have played 13 games in London, more than double any other NFL franchise, with a 7-6 overseas record and ongoing offensive-line issues, including six sacks allowed in five games.
