The Jacksonville Jaguars are sticking with Chad Henne as their starting quarterback, according to head coach Gus Bradley, per John Oesher of the team website. Henne has played in seven games for the Jaguars his season, originally filling in for the injured Blaine Gabbert, but eventually taking over when Gabbert struggled.

Gabbert was named the starter for the regular season, but quickly sustained an injury and gave way to Henne. When he resumed his duties against the Indianapolis Colts, he completed 17 of 32 passes for 179 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions.
Henne hasn’t been much better, but Bradley thinks he’s a better quarterback than Gabbert and gives the team a better chance to win. His stats aren’t all that much different, however. He has completed 132 of 218 passes for 1,450 yards with three touchdowns and five interceptions this season.
Against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 8, the Jaguars earned their first home touchdown of the season. It's worth noting that it was only technically a "home" game, as the team was the host at Wembley Stadium in London. The Jaguars remain winless, now at 0-8 on the year.
