The Jaguars beat the Colts 19-13 at EverBank Field on January 1, 2012
We made it to the final week of the regular season, and I am overjoyed. The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the road to face off against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars and Colts have played each other 47 times, and the Colts lead the series 27-20. After sweeping the Tennessee Titans (fuck ‘em) last week, what better way to end this dreary season than to sweep another divisional opponent. Let’s look at the first season the Jags swept the Colts.
