The competitiveness the Jaguars have been promising since Shad Khan bought the team four years ago might finally have arrived.
Jacksonville might even end up with a playoff berth — its first since 2007 — if that improvement continues, thanks in large part to the general awfulness of the AFC South.
The Jaguars are just 5-8 after a 51-16 rout of the division-rival Colts on Sunday, but they’re 4-3 in their past seven games and — most importantly — just one game back of Indianapolis and the Texans in the South with three games left and some momentum on their side.
