Jaguars fans — are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?
And who do you expect to win the division this season?
Please take our surveyHere were the betting odds for the AFC South entering the year:
And here’s how the division stands right now:
“To not play your best, specifically on one side of the ball, and still come away with a win, that is important,” coach Liam Coen said after Jacksonville’s Week 3 win over Houston. “To go and win a division game like that, a physical, tough finish comes down to the wire. That is really big for us to be able to move forward and have belief that we can go and win tight games … very pleased with their ability to stay connected and to finish a tough game the right way.”
“We don’t like each other,” Trevor Lawrence said. “We don’t like any of our division opponents, so it’s not necessarily uncommon in that respect, but, yeah, I just — we’re not going to get bullied … that’s their mindset and it’s not going to happen to this team. So it was fun to be able to punch back and stand up in those moments where it’s like, all right, you want to throw that punch? Like, we’re here.”
Despite a disappointing loss in Week 2, the Jaguars are doing about as well as we could have hoped. The Texans and Titans being winless through three games is even better news.
Surprisingly, the biggest threat to win the AFC South seems to be Daniel “Indiana” Jones and the Colts. They’ve jumped out to a 3-0 start behind an offense that ranks second in points scored and total yards. Indianapolis crushed Miami and Tennessee by a combined 46 points, and they eked out a 1-point win over a very good Denver team. Are they legit?
