17 weeks of NFL football and the Jacksonville Jaguars came away from the 2015 season with a 5-11 record. That’s a full four wins worse than the 9-7 originally predicted in our game-by-game predictions for every week well before the season got going.
Sure, 9-7 was optimistic and a playoff berth even more so, but the Jags were actually much closer to that than some people ever realized. The Jags sniffed the playoffs in 2015!
But, in the NFL all that matters is your record and at the end of the day the Jags were 5-11.
