Jags throttle Titans to take over first place in AFC South

By Hays Carlyon It’s December. Your Jaguars are in first place in the AFC South. Happy days are here again. Led by a decisive Trevor Lawrence and suffocating defense, the Jaguars made quick work of downtrodden Tennessee roughing up the Titans 25-3 Sunday at Nissan Stadium. The Titans (1-11) gained 70 yards on their first drive, which resulted in a field goal. They gained 118 yards the rest of the day. Lawrence was in control from the outset. He completed […]

This flawed Jags team is winning so just be thankful

By Hays Carlyon When I watch the Jaguars, I see more flaws than strengths. But that doesn’t matter. Because you are what your record says you are. I believe that. It’s a cliché but I believe it. The Jaguars are 7-4. That’s good, especially for a first-year and first-time coach in Liam Coen. So, I’m not going to overly critical of a team that just went on the road and beat Arizona 27-24 in overtime. Despite the minus-four turnover margin […]

A Coen crushing: Jags dominate Chargers in 35-6 rout

By Hays Carlyon We asked the question all week. How would the Jaguars respond after blowing a 19-point fourth-quarter lead in a 36-29 loss at Houston?

The Jaguars dominated Los Angeles 35-6 Sunday, running for four touchdowns and holding the Chargers to eight first downs and 135 yards. “That's where we won the game I thought,” […]

We will see the heart Jags have now after stunning collapse in Houston

By Hays Carlyon If the 2025 Jaguars season ends in total collapse, like the 2023 campaign, we will all easily be able to trace the moment where it began. Sunday, Nov. 8 in Houston right around 3 p.m. That’s roughly when the Texans mounted a 19-point comeback to beat the Jaguars 36-29. Make no mistake: this was one of the most stunning losses in franchise history. A chance to move to 6-3. Gone. A chance to sweep the Texans for […]

Jags, Coen head into full crisis mode after awful loss to Rams

By Hays Carlyon This first crisis of the Liam Coen Era has arrived. The Jaguars are still in a good spot at 4-3. However, Sunday’s embarrassing 35-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at London’s Wembley Stadium exposed the challenges the first-year coach faces heading into the team’s bye week. I’m not going to rehash the game. You watched it. Drops, penalties and soft play doomed the Jaguars. So, what is a legit concern? Frankly, a lot. Here are the […]

Jaguars get thrown around in 20-12 loss to Seahawks

By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars have consistently been the more physical team in their first five games of the season. That ended Sunday. Seattle showed up and whipped the Jaguars physically. The Seahawks defensive front seven vs. the Jaguars offensive line was especially lopsided. The Jaguars allowed the Seahawks to sack quarterback Trevor Lawrence seven times in a 20-12 defeat Sunday at EverBank Stadium. In all, the Jaguars ran 68 plays for 273 yards, a putrid 4-yard average per play. […]
