JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The three happiest people that Mike Glennon is going to remain the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting quarterback -- other than Glennon himself, of course -- should be Tyler Eifert, James O’Shaughnessy and Collin Johnson.

Those are the three players who have benefited the most from Glennon being in the lineup because their workload in the last two weeks has skyrocketed -- especially Johnson, the Jaguars’ fifth-round draft pick out of Texas.

Johnson was the Jaguars’ leading receiver in each of Glennon’s two starts. He had four catches for 66 yards in the overtime loss at Minnesota after catching four passes for 96 yards and a touchdown in the loss at home to Cleveland. His eight catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in the two games is more than half of his season totals: 15 catches, 231 yards, two TDs.

Johnson had two critical catches on the Jaguars’ game-tying drive late in regulation: a 21-yard contested catch at the Vikings’ 4-yard line and the two-point conversion that forced the game into overtime.

“Really dating back to camp, he was kind of my guy in training camp, and he’s stepped up and has made a lot of big plays,” said Glennon, who has targeted Johnson 14 times in the last two games -- one more than Johnson had in the first 10 games. “So I don’t know if that has to do with our chemistry or just kind of that he’s in the right place at the right time with my reads.

“... So yeah, I feel comfortable with Collin and hopefully we’ll continue to build on that.”

One of the reasons the Jaguars like Glennon over Gardner Minshew and Jake Luton is his willingness to work the middle of the field. Nobody benefits more from that than tight ends. Eifert and O’Shaughnessy have combined to catch 15 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown in the last two games on 20 targets.

That’s an average of 10 targets per game for those two. In the previous 10 games, Eifert and O’Shaughnessy averaged a combined 5.9 targets per game.

Glennon targeted Eifert and O’Shaughnessy 10 times against the Vikings, which was the most those two had been targeted in a game this season. Eifert had a season-high six catches and O’Shaughnessy set a season-high with 41 yards against the Vikings.

The trio’s stats could have been even better had Glennon not turned the ball over three times (two interceptions and a fumble). It also would have helped if the pass protection had not broken down on the edge and Glennon hadn’t been sacked in the end zone for a safety.

Despite those issues, coach Doug Marrone said he’s committed to starting Glennon on Sunday against Tennessee at TIAA Bank Field.

“I think we’re going to look at Mike. We’re going to evaluate it, but I think we’re going to try to clean some things up for him and see how we can obviously do a better job,” Marrone said. “I think that I’m going to go with him. I think he still gives us the best chance to win as of right now so I’m going to stick with him right now for this week.”

That should make three guys pretty happy.
