Travon Walker and the Jacksonville Jaguars defense did so many good things to keep the team in the game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Jaguars held Minnesota to only 12 points and intercepted Sam Darnold 3 different times.
However, it was a penalty by Walker that has the fans talking.
With the Jaguars trying to get the ball back late, Walker was called for a personal foul that extended the drive and allowed the Vikings to run the clock out.
“Travon Walker’s silly penalty, right there, is going to cost them a first down,” Adam Amin.
“What a way to end the game, if you’re Jacksonville. As well as you played on defense, to go down like that, is an absolute punch to the gut,” Mark Sanchez.pic.twitter.com/s55ycFdFlA

It was a play that has hurt the Jaguars all throughout this season, making costly mistakes in crunch time.
Fans in Jacksonville entered this season with the optimism that the team would be right there with the Houston Texans in the AFC South, but that hasn’t been. There have been many people to be blamed, but Walker is the talking point on social media after his big penalty.
This sums up the Jags’ season. Travon Walker commits a personal foul which gives the Vikings an automatic first down and ends the game.
