With the Jaguars at 11-4 and the Colts at 8-7, Jacksonville is up three games on Indianapolis with only two games left in the regular season.

They hold a one-game lead in the AFC South over the 10-5 Houston Texans. Jacksonville is the current three seed in the AFC, but are still in the mix for the No. 1 seed after winning in Denver on Sunday.

The Jaguars finish the regular season at Indianapolis and then at home against Tennessee.
