If the Jaguars are a real contender, they’ll prove it

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Detroit Lions get compared for many reasons.

The two teams share the large cat brand, as well as a tumultuous history of loss and current potential for success. Additionally, the two teams sat atop the NFL Draft just 19 months ago, claiming the two worst records in the league the year prior.

Fast forward to this current moment, and both teams lead their respective divisions with winning records. That, however, is not the similarity of focus for this piece.

Despite otherwise fortunate starts to their seasons, the Jaguars (6-3) and Lions (7-2) have both suffered a loss of more than 30 points.
