“Our goals are still right there in front of us.”
Doug Pederson’s message stayed consistent all season, even during the Jaguars’ four-game losing streak in December. With a 6-2 record going into the bye, Jacksonville scrapped together three wins in the past two months to reach present day. Now, the Jags have a chance to repeat last season’s heroics.
If Jacksonville wins at Tennessee this week, they’ll repeat as AFC South champions and host a playoff game for just the sixth time in franchise history.
If the Jaguars lose, they could miss the playoff entirely (unless the Steelers and Broncos also fall).
