The Jacksonville Jaguars only got a primetime game in 2021, their Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Looking at how they fared in the last 18 games, would you blame the schedule makers?
Sure, the Jags have a promising talent in quarterback Trevor Lawrence. They also have a top 10 running back in James Robinson but until they’re able to consistently win football games and go toe-to-toe with powerhouses such as the Los Angeles Rams or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they won’t be getting the national spotlight any time soon.
Even after playing in the 2017 AFC Championship, the Jaguars got just one primetime game the following season.
