The Jaguars throughout the season have talked about going 1-0 each week, with Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli<\/a> fond of saying each week’s game is the most important in franchise history because it’s the next game.<\/p>\n

“That’s what we talked about this morning, was 1-0 again this week,” Coen said. “We’re in the dance now, we’re in the tournament, so we’ve got to go 1-0 each week, but take it week in, week out.”<\/p>\n

Players on Wednesday echoed Coen’s sentiments \u2013 that the high-profile, one-and-done nature of Sunday won’t change their methodical day-to-day preparation.<\/p>\n

“We get to play another game this week,” Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen<\/a> said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to maximize what we can do and be on a platform where people can watch our games everywhere and see what kind of team we are.”<\/p>\n

The Jaguars, after 4-1 start to the season, lost three of four games before winning their final eight regular-season games \u2013 their longest winning streak ever entering the postseason. They won six of those eight games by at least 14 points \u2013 staying a game ahead of the AFC South runner-up Houston Texans (12-5) through that stretch.<\/p>\n

“All the guys in this locker room have been winning all season,” Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker<\/a> said. “We’re obviously used to winning at this point. It’s time to continue to keep building.”<\/p>\n

The Bills enter the postseason as perhaps the most experienced team in the 14-team playoff field, having made seven consecutive playoff appearances. They lost in the AFC Championship Game last season, winning five consecutive AFC East titles from 2020-2024.<\/p>\n

“There’s nothing they do that’s going to make us change anything from what we’re supposed to be doing,” Walker said.”<\/p>\n

The Jaguars, after winning the AFC South title in 2022, missed the playoffs with a Week 18 loss to the Tennessee Titans in 2023 before finishing 4-13 last season. Fourteen players, including Walker and quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a> \u2013 and seven other starters \u2013 remain from that team, with 15 Jaguars veterans having been to the postseason with other NFL teams.<\/p>\n

“We’re more of a mature team,” Hines-Allen said. “We’ve been there before. A lot of these guys have played in big games. We have brought guys in who have played in big-time games.<\/p>\n

“We have leadership that can keep the locker room in check, make sure we don’t get too high or too low. We’re a more mature team this year. Our expectations is to do what we do best, play to our standard and play with that edge that everybody usually has in each game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jaguars throughout the season have talked about going 1-0 each week, with Executive Vice President of Football…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2060],"tags":[95186,7,130,212,125,2401,213,134,1642,131,133,6,314],"class_list":["post-662345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-buffalo-bills-at-jacksonville-jaguars-2025-post-1","tag-football","tag-front-page-headline","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-jacksonvillejaguars","tag-jaguars","tag-john-oehser","tag-liam-coen","tag-news-front-page-headline","tag-news-jaguars-news","tag-nfl","tag-trevor-lawrence"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115856443020140982","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
