A loss by the Jaguars and win by the Houston Texans would send them to the Wild Card, giving up the right to host a home postseason game for the first time since the 2022 season.

Coen has helped the team bounce-back from a four-win season in 2024, winning 12 games in his first season as head coach. A win against the Titans would be the team’s 13th victory this season and would put him one regular season victory away from matching Gus Bradley’s win total of 14.
Coen is 10 regular season wins away from tying the total of previous head coach Doug Pederson, who won 22 games in three seasons.
