At 10-4 on the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot. Here is how they can do it in Week 16.
According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, with a win this week over Denver, coupled with either a Texans loss or a Colts loss, the Jaguars can secure a playoff berth.

The Texans are at home in Week 15 against the Raiders, while the Colts host the 49ers on Monday Night Football.
Jacksonville currently holds a one-game lead over the 9-5 Texans in the AFC South race. The Colts are two games back at 8-6.
In the AFC playoff picture, the Jaguars remain the three seed. Denver is at the top of the conference with a record of 12-2 and winners of their last 11 games. New England is the two seed at 11-3.
On the road in Denver will provide the Jaguars with one of their biggest tests of the season and a playoff-like atmosphere.
Jacksonville, however, is playing their best collective football of the season right now, especially on offense. Over the last seven games, the Jaguars have eclipsed the 30-point mark five times.
