The Jacksonville Jaguars benched quarterback Blake Bortles in favor of Cody Kessler on Monday.
The change comes hours after the team also made a change at offensive coordinator, firing Nathaniel Hackett.
Bortles passed for just 127 yards in Sunday’s 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Jaguars’ seventh straight defeat. The week before, Bortles posted a season low with 104 yards passing in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in which the Jaguars blew a 16-point lead.
Bortles has struggled this season after signing a three-year extension last offseason with just 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Bortles, who was benched in a game against the Houston Texans last month, has thrown at least 10 interceptions in each of his five NFL seasons. He is completing 60.4 percent of his pass attempts, but his 6.97 yards per completion ranks 29th in the NFL.
