The Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills are set to square off in the Wild Card Round of the 2025-26 NFL Playoffs.

Today’s key to the game: contain reigning MVP Josh Allen.

“He’s extremely impressive,” coach Liam Coen said Monday. “I remember we played him in 2020 and we played him again in 2022, and he did some really good things against us like stiff-arming defenders, throwing the ball down the field a million miles. And I’ve got a lot of respect for their coaching staff. I know some of the guys on the offensive staff specifically and to watch him...

On Saturday, the Associated Press announced the full 2025 AP All-Pro roster, which included just one first-team Jacksonville Jaguars selection: three-time Pro Bowl long snapper Ross Matiscik. 2025 is Matiscik’s third consecutive placement as an All-Pro and his second time being named to the first team (2023).

Via the team release:

Matiscik, 29, has played 140 special teams snaps this season and made four tackles, tied for third in the league among long snappers. Since entering the league in 2020, his 22 special teams tackles are tied for the most in the NFL at his position. Matiscik has snapped...

Today, we’re previewing the Wild Card Round playoff matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills at EverBank Stadium.

Question 1: Who has been your favorite player(s) to watch during Jacksonville’s current eight-game win streak?

Dillon Appleman: Obviously, Trevor’s ascension has been awesome to watch, but I have to give some shine to Jarrian Jones. He’d fallen down the depth chart before the win streak but has since earned more playing time and has been terrific. His energy stands out and he’s become one of the biggest playmakers on this defense. Since...

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had an interesting year when it comes to their 2o25 rookie class. Their aggressive draft day trade for Travis Hunter dominated the storylines for Jacksonville well into the early part of the season but an injury ended his rookie year after just seven games. Their second pick in the draft was safety Caleb Ransaw who was injured during training camp and missed the entire season, while their next pick, OL Wyatt Milum, missed time with an injury and ultimately played a limited role as primarily an extra lineman all year.

Those three were supposed to make...

The #3 Jacksonville Jaguars welcome the #6 Buffalo Bills to EverBank Stadium on Sunday for their wildcard round playoff matchup. With the Jags in good form, here are three key battles to keep an eye on:

Antonio Johnson vs Tyrell Shavers

What a first year for defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile.

The Jags’ defense has been one of the standout units in the NFL in 2025, particularly against the pass. 22 interceptions on the year ranks second in the league, just one takeaway behind the Chicago Bears. Key to that prowess has been the development of the Jaguars’ secondary and...

Hopefully it will be a few weeks before we know how the Jaguars’ 2025 season ends up, and we won’t know the full 2026 schedule for a few months, but we do know which teams the Jaguars will be playing next season.

Just like every other season, the Jags will have home and away matchups with the other AFC South teams — the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans. They’ll also face the NFC East and AFC North, and their first-place finish in the division landed Jacksonville a very tough trio with the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and...

In a year’s time, the Jacksonville Jaguars went from 13 losses to 13 wins and a division title. Even better still, the Jags are just four games away from the team’s first Super Bowl victory.

Sunday’s 41-7 thrashing of the Tennessee Titans was all about Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence etched his name in Jaguars lore, right beside his first-year coach, Liam Coen. The defense showed up yet again, which helped complement the city of Jacksonville, which showed up for their hometown team. Sunday was about Jacksonville. It was always going to be. It was always the Jags.

And with that victory,...

The Jacksonville Jaguars (#3 seed) will face the Buffalo Bills (#6 seed) at EverBank Stadium at 1:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, Jan. 11.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 1.5-point underdogs and the total is set at 51.5 points.

Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen have played against each other three times in the five years they’ve both been in the NFL.

• Week 9, 2021: Jaguars 9, Bills 6
• Week 5, 2023: Jaguars 25, Bills 20
• Week 3, 2024: Jaguars 10, Bills 47

Lawrence may have a 2-1 career record over Allen, but it’s fair to say...

If the Jacksonville Jaguars had a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, it would be the 27th overall selection. But the Jags traded that pick to the Cleveland Browns to be able to move up to No. 2 and select one of the most dynamic athletes available, Colorado’s two-way superstar Travis Hunter, in the 2025 draft.

The Jaguars sent the Browns their fifth overall pick in 2025, which Cleveland used to select DT Mason Graham. In addition, the Browns received the Jags’ second-round pick (No. 36), which they used to snag WR Quinshon Judkins. Jacksonville’s first-round pick in 2026...

The Jacksonville Jaguars are officially AFC South Champions again, for the third time in franchise history (2017 and 2022) after securing their 13th win of the 2025 season Sunday.
