The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the most underrated teams in the 2025 NFL season. Despite their 10-4 record and status as the AFC South leader, not many are picking them as a serious threat in the playoffs. At this point, there might not be anything the Jaguars can do to change the world’s preconceived notions of them.
One thing that might help, though, is beating the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Taking down the current No. 1 seed in the AFC on the road would give the Jaguars another statement victory this season and make it seemingly impossible to deny their contendership. And yet, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Denver derided in defeat instead of Jacksonville praised for the win.
