Heading into December, the Jaguars are 8-3 and the No. 3 seed in the AFC. Incredibly, six of eight victories have come away from home, including two in London.
With three home games and three road games remaining, the Jaguars have put together one of the most surprising and unusual seasons in NFL history.
Their remaining home games are Monday night against the Bengals, totally off track with the loss of All-Pro quarterback Joe Burrows; the Ravens, regarded by some as the AFC’s best team, and the Panthers, battling the Patriots for the No. 1 draft pick. Road games are at Cleveland, Tampa Bay, and Tennessee.
I see only one or two more losses.
Surprisingly, no unit has been better than special teams and the defense has outplayed the offense. That’s a nice problem to have because the offense has enough players to be outstanding.
Are we talking about a Super Bowl here? There’s certainly no reason now to think it can’t happen.
