JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - With their team getting blown out again at home, Jacksonville Jaguars fans started cheering for the referee Sunday against Detroit. Yep, the ref. Every time Gene Steratore announced that Lions offensive tackle Riley Reiff had reported as an eligible receiver, fans roared with enthusiasm. Sure, they were mocking Steratore's repetitive and seemingly endless updates, but it's hard to blame fans for glomming a laugh after watching Jacksonville struggle this season. The Jaguars (1-7) are 0-4 at EverBank Field and have been outscored 126-34 by Houston, Cincinnati, Chicago and Detroit. The latest debacle was a 31-14 loss in which Jacksonville trailed 14-0 before getting a first down and was behind 24-0 midway through the fourth quarter. The Jaguars get a chance for a better home performance Thursday against Indianapolis (5-3).
