The Jaguars (8-8) host Tennessee (7-9) at TIAA Bank Field in what works out to be the AFC South championship game.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and guard Brandon Scherff celebrate a touchdown against the Houston Texans during the first half of an NFL football game in Houston, Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023. Riding their first four-game winning streak since the 2017 season, Jacksonville is in unfamiliar territory at this time of the year.
The winner gets the division title and No. 4 seed in the playoffs. The loser likely stays home for the postseason. “These games you shouldn’t have to check the pulse of anybody. They should be fired up and ready to go. Again, these are games you want to play in as a player, you want to coach in as a coach. It’s part of the culture that we’re trying to establish,” Pederson said.
The Jaguars could have been distracted Sunday in what wasn’t a significantly important game on the surface. Had Jacksonville lost to the Texans, it could still win the AFC South title by beating Tennessee. Pederson said with that question floating around during Houston week, it was imperative that he and the staff drive home the point that it very much mattered.
