The Jacksonville Jaguars technically took the lead in the AFC South back in Week 13, when they beat the Tennessee Titans 25-3.
On the same day, the Indianapolis Colts suffered a tough loss to the Houston Texans, 20-16, their second straight at that point. However, Jacksonville only had the top seed on a technicality, holding the “common opponents” tiebreaker over Indy while boasting the same 8-4 record.
Since then, the Jaguars have won two more games to take the lead outright, while the Colts have continued their freefall, with starting quarterback Daniel Jones out for the year with a ruptured Achilles.
However, Jacksonville doesn’t have the division locked up yet, with the Houston Texans on the chase, riding their own win streak with six victories in a row.
