By far, it’s the Jaguars absolutely dismantling the Chargers who had looked great this year more often than not, 35 to6. And if we go back to the last time these two teams played in the 2022 postseason since falling behind 27 nothing to the Chargers. The Jaguars have outscored LA 66-9 since that moment. The Jaguars own the Chargers right now. And it was a stunner to see with the Jaguars who have been very up and down, very inconsistent this year. They got it together yesterday. They really did. They needed to. It was a must-win kind of football game for them. And we haven’t seen the Chargers play, like you said, play like that all year. Just lay an egg. Lay an egg. Now, hey, the big thing with the Chargers, as we’ve talked about, is just they have to play a different style of football than they really were intended to play. John, Jim Harbaugh did not want to play I got to throw the ball every freaking play with my quarterback all the time, but that’s where they’re at. And so, they couldn’t run the ball yesterday. Herbert was pressured. Couldn’t find anybody open. And the big thing was the Jaguars offense just had its way with the Chargers defense. They ran the ball and Trevor Lawrence played pretty efficient on that side of the ball and they dominated the Chargers. Jacksonville played a terrific football game yesterday and this was a team that kept shooting themselves in the foot with all different problems on both sides of the ball in penalties and making mistakes. And Trevor Lawrence wasn’t one of them either that was helping. He was he was he was making mistakes as well. second half they came out and they roadgraded the Los Angeles Chargers which you are not usually doing. Chargers um are one of the best teams in terms of time of possession. I have it right here. The Los Angeles Chargers are topnotch in time of possession and the Jaguars ran it up for 192 total yards and beat him by 29 and hardly let him have the ball and took advantage of what the Steelers couldn’t take advantage of and others taking on the Chargers which is Herbert is not being protected as well is they want him to be protected because they have so many injuries up front and they beat up Herbert so badly that Jim took him out and said Trey Lance it’s your time and the same thing that I said about Shador I’m sure Trey Lance has not had many snaps with the ones at all and I did a little bit longer though and and so yeah man they they got the same amount of football the Chargers only possessed the ball for 22 minutes 5 seconds of this game, lowest of the season. And the the Chargers have led the NFL in time of possession coming into this game with 33 minutes and 35 seconds. I mean, that’s more than a half of football, which helps you win football games. But Jacksonville got ETN going and Tutin going before he got hurt. And the thing with Jacksonville is that is not only a win that can help them get in as a wild card. They have yet to play the Colts yet. Did you know that they have yet to play the Colts? And Jacksonville’s next game is at Arizona and then at Tennessee before they welcome in the Colts to start their December schedule. They’re at Denver, too, man. But the bottom line is if they win their next two games, and I know there’s a lot of ifs to set up their game against the the Colts who are taking on Kansas City next themselves. Um, they have a chance to win the division. And I didn’t go higher register, did I? They still they 100% do. They’re they’re two games behind the Colts. It would be helpful for them if they win their next two and the Colts lose at least one of their next two and Indianapolis’s next two or at Kansas City and home for Houston and Jacksonville’s already held serve home against Houston. They’ve already as you know beaten Houston twice. I think I got that right. They can win this division. They can win it. So, as you know, Jacksonville came back on Houston in a big big way to follow it up by smoking the Chargers like that. That is massive. Pardon me. Houston came back on Jacksonville. My bad. So, they split. They could still win the division. It’s basically what I’m saying. Let’s go to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that did not have to play a tight game this past week. They blew away the Chargers, but They’re up and down it seems like every other week. Pete, do you take more from that or more from the losing streak we had? We we saw them have. Well, I think this is one of those moments when a coach gets his team and and really brings tests him and brings it together and you got to figure out what happens because there were you blow a 19-point lead on the road in the fourth quarter, that thing could spiral. Yeah. And from what I understand, he got them all together on Monday and he said, “We’re not allowing this to spiral out of control. We’re going to get back together.” together. He told Trevor Lawrence, “You got to turn the ball loose. You got to throw it. You got to take your shots.” They came out and threw the ball in the first five plays of the game. And I think that kind of got them together. And they dominated in every way, shape, or form in that game. They ran the ball. They physically mauled them at the line of scrimmage on defense. A group that hadn’t had any pressure got pressure. Now, the line stinks in in uh in uh Chargers. The Chargers line stinks, but they dominate. And you look at their schedule. Take a peek at that schedule. Yeah, going forward this team’s probably going to be in the playoffs. I don’t know how good they are, but they’re going to be in the playoffs. They have that cushion, a oneame lead over the Chiefs and the tiebreers and the Chargers and the Chargers cuz they beat them in the Chargers have but Charger schedule gets really tough, too. But I’m glad Jack put that up. Shout out to Josh Hines Allen who now is the active leader in sacks in Jacksonville Jaguar history. Pete, we were talking about this last week. Where’s the pass rush been? Well, it came this last game. Josh Hines Allen had a really good rush. Eric Armstead had essentially closed the game out at the end. I love how their defensive backs played. Montterrickk Brown had a heck of a game. Jerian Jones had a heck of a game. They had kind of struggled throughout this year and we were wondering like what is going on with Michael Capelli and this defense? It would look so good in the beginning of the year. They were taking the football away, but they looked like a shell of themselves. Well, they got back to being who they were this last week. And to your point, maybe the offensive line, albeit had an opportunity or had something to do with it. the Chargers offensive line really struggling, but you love that this team bounced back from adversity because like you said, it could have went left. It literally could have went left. You have a 19-point lead and you give that up to a divisional foe, lose that game, the season could essentially be over. So, shout out to their head coach for getting everybody on one accord. Love how physical they were running the football. I think that is the formula for them, that two-headed monster in the back field. And Kobe Meyers has been a really good pickup for them. Pick up, especially on third down. Yeah. Yeah. I’m looking at the schedule now. two games against the Titans. They have the Cardinals and the Jets. So, uh, definitely. And they never lose to the Colts in Jacksonville, no matter how good no matter how good the Colts are. And they’ve come in there with some really good teams. They don’t lose to them in in Jacksonville. That one’s on the first Sunday of December. The Jacksonville Jaguars in pretty good position now after that victory. As we continue to go through, the Jacksonville Jaguars did not just win a football game. They sent a violent shockwave through the AFC South. What we witnessed was not strategy, not luck. It was a fullcale awakening, a monster rising from weeks of inconsistency, finally roaring with the force of a contender. Because when you dismantle a Chargers team 356, a team that entered the season looking sharper than they have in years, that’s not a game. That’s a statement and the numbers scream the truth. Since falling behind 27-0 to the Chargers in the 2022 postseason, the Jaguars have now outscored Los Angeles 669. That is not coincidence. That is ownership. The Jaguars own the Chargers. But domination alone doesn’t explain the transformation. The real story begins the moment the Jaguars reached their breaking point. This team was spiraling. A blown 19-point lead, a season slipping away, a locker room on the edge. But Monday morning, something changed. Inside that room, Doug Peterson didn’t sugarcoat it. He didn’t comfort. He confronted. He told his team, “This will not spiral. Not on my watch.” And to Trevor Lawrence, he delivered the line that flipped Jacksonville’s destiny. Turn the ball loose. Throw it. Take your shots. That order echoed through every snap. Jacksonville opened the game firing. Five straight passing plays. Each one sharper, faster, more ruthless than anything we’ve seen from Trevor this season. It was the spark, the ignition, the awakening. But inspiration means nothing without execution. And what Jacksonville did next was pure destruction. Call it physical, call it brutal, call it a football crime scene. Because the Jaguars offensive line didn’t just win the trenches, they mauled the Chargers. Jacksonville put up 192 rushing yards, ripping apart a defense that had bullied teams all year. Meanwhile, the Chargers, the same Chargers who led the entire NFL with 33 minutes and 35 seconds of time of possession per game, managed just 22 minutes and 5 seconds, their lowest mark of the season. That’s not a drop off, that’s a collapse. Justin Herbert, he never stood a chance. Injuries on the offensive line left him exposed, unprotected, and brutalized until Jim Harbaugh had to pull him out and summon Trey Lance, a quarterback who hasn’t had real starter reps all year, into a hopeless storm. Jacksonville didn’t just beat LA. They overpowered them. They controlled them. They broke them. But the Jaguars didn’t rely on offense alone. Their defense brought back something fans feared had vanished. For weeks, the Jaguars defense looked like a ghost of the unit that opened the season. Missed tackles, no pressure, confusion everywhere. But against LA, they came back to life with violent intent. Josh Allen, the heartbeat of this defense, delivered a performance that stamped his name into franchise history as the active leader in sacks. Arms set the edge. Montaric Brown and Jerry and Jones locked down passing lanes with the urgency of a unit refusing to collapse again. This wasn’t luck. This wasn’t matchup advantage. This was identity rediscovered. The Jaguars didn’t just defend. They hunted. And now with confidence restored and momentum exploding, the Jaguars face a stunning reality. They control their own path back to the AFC South throne. Here’s the part the league isn’t ready for. The Jacksonville Jaguars can still win the AFC South. And no, this isn’t wishful thinking. This is math. This is schedule. This is momentum. They still haven’t played the Colts this season. A rivalry Jacksonville dominates at home. their upcoming slate at Arizona, at Tennessee, home versus Indianapolis, at Denver. Four games, four winnable matchups, four open doors. If Jacksonville wins the next two and the Colts drop at least one, and remember, Indy’s next opponents are Kansas City and Houston, the division becomes a coin flip. A coin flip heavily weighted toward the team with a hotter quarterback and the team that just proved they can annihilate anyone when they lock in. This is no longer an inconsistent team searching for answers. This is a team finding its rhythm at the exact moment contenders separate from pretenders. But the real question isn’t can Jacksonville win the AFC South. It’s whether anyone in that division is prepared for the version of this team that just emerged. The Jacksonville Jaguars did not just win a football game. They sent a warning. Loud, violent, undeniable. Trevor Lawrence has stopped hesitating. The run game has rediscovered its teeth. The defense has remembered how to strike. And the head coach has reminded everyone that collapse is a choice and Jacksonville is done choosing it. This team has flaws. This team has scars. But this team also has something terrifying. Belief. And when belief meets talent at the right time, monsters are born. The AFC South isn’t ready. The AFC as a whole might not be ready. But ready or not, the Jaguars are coming. Yo, Mike check 1 to21 -2. Game over for this video, folks. Smash that like button, drop a comment, and subscribe to stay in the huddle for more.
