For all of Jacksonville’s struggles, the team could realistically find itself in the mix in the AFC South conversation with a win.
For a team coming off back-to-back No. 1 overall selections in the NFL draft, it’s not as far fetched of an idea as it sounds. If they play like they did in the opening half against Washington last week, probably not. If the Jaguars can address a few of the issues that plagued them, then a win is certainly possible.
The Colts struggle to win in Jacksonville and they didn’t play particularly well in a Week 1 tie against the Texans. They haven’t won here since Andrew Luck was under center in 2014. That’s seven consecutive losses in the 904. The Jaguars went 1-15 in 2020 and Indianapolis was their lone win. It’s similar to Jacksonville’s struggles in Nashville, a place where the Jaguars haven’t won at since 2013.
Quarterback Matt Ryan, who landed in Indianapolis after the team dealt Carson Wentz to the Commanders, gives the Colts a steady presence under center. But he’s not as dangerous as Taylor is for the Colts. “It’s rare. There’s usually a couple guys early in the season, typically, that are limited during the week, but it’s just a credit to the players, how well they’ve taken care of themselves through camp,” Pederson said. “Coming out of last week’s game healthy, there’s always going to be bumps and bruises each week, but for the most part, everybody’s feeling good.”
