Doug Pederson's message to his team following a fourth consecutive victory was simple: keep being you.
“Listen, we haven’t done anything yet. They’re still the champs until something happens. I felt like and really feel like our guys are in a good place. They’re in a good place mentally, physically. I don’t really have to worry too much about them getting excited for this one.”
Although the pressure will be on the Jaguars, they insist it’s been that way since a five-game losing streak in October dropped them to 2-6. If they beat Tennessee, they would be the fifth team in NFL history to make the playoffs with a five-game winning streak and a five-game losing streak in the same season.
“We’ve been expecting this, and we’re ready for it,” quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. “You can’t freak out and make it bigger than it is. You have to stick to what you know and your process.”Jacksonville’s defense has been at its best the past two weeks. After allowing 227 yards and a field goal to the New York Jets, the Jaguars gave up 277 yards and a field goal to the Texans and stopped Houston four times on fourth down.
One less day means tweaking the schedule and cramming some things together, but it should help that they played the Titans a month ago.Pederson pulled many starters in the second half at Houston and reported no injuries. LB Travon Walker and DT Foley Fatukasi returned after missing last week’s game.2 — number of times in franchise history the Jaguars have swept Tennessee.
