The Jaguars have won three of their last four contests, and they’re now nipping at the Indianapolis Colts’ AFC South-leading heels. It’s how Jacksonville won those contests that’s so fascinating.
At the start of this stretch, the Jaguars needed a tipped two-point conversion pass attempt to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders. Jacksonville then experienced a fourth-quarter meltdown against the Houston Texans for its last loss. The Jags responded by blowing out the Los Angeles Chargers, then sneaking past the Arizona Cardinals in overtime.
The final score is all that matters, and Jacksonville is finding a way. Is this approach sustainable? Probably not. But the Jaguars have created an opportunity to snatch the AFC South from the Colts’ clutches if they continue to find a way.
