As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11, we sat down with Michael Peterson of Bolts From The Blue to learn more about the opposing side.

Question 1: Is Justin Herbert leading the NFL in pass attempts a good or bad thing for LA?

In past years, I’d say it’d be a bad thing because it more than likely means the Chargers have been playing from behind in just about every game. However, I think this year’s numbers are honestly due to offensive coordinator Greg Roman realizing he’s our best player and that his arm is how we maximize the chance of winning games. The run game hasn’t been bad by any means. They’re a top 10 group in the NFL. However, it’s been inconsistent enough behind the patchwork offensive that the coaching staff has decided the team will create leads via Herbert’s arm, then utilize the ground game to milk clocks and secure victories. It should also be noted that the Chargers’ quick game should be viewed as an extension of the ground game. Players like Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey allow the team to gain six to eight yards nearly at will thanks to their shiftiness in tight quarters.

Question 2: Just how much does the offense miss bookend tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt?

There are not truly enough words to describe how important those two tackles are to the health and protection of Justin Herbert. He’s on pace to be the most pressured and hit quarterback this season, and he’s been on pace to be hit more than Andrew Luck was within their first six seasons of their career. That’s not good!

Slater’s loss was somewhat mitigated by Joe Alt switching over to the left side while swing tackle Trey Pipkins took over the right side, and it helps that the latter has a decent amount of starting experience there already. Now that both are gone, you have some of the worst-performing tackles in the league protecting Herbert’s blindside. Austin Deculus is the worst-graded tackle out of 38 qualifying players by PFF and Pipkins isn’t much better.

Question 3: Jacksonville is also in a bad spot at OT — can the Chargers defense take advantage?

Yes, I believe they can if Jesse Minter can call as good a game as he did against the Steelers this past Sunday night. The Chargers sacked Aaron Rodgers three times and truly made him uncomfortable all game long. The trio of Khalil Mack, Tuli Tuipulotu, and Odafe Oweh has been riding a beat of hot streak in recent games, and seeing someone like Walker Little at left tackle (36 pressures, eight sacks allowed) has got to be a tantalizing sight for them.

While the interior pass rush hasn’t been the greatest for the Chargers, guys like Teair Tart or Jamaree Caldwell could also have a day against right guard Patrick Mekari who has also been a bit leaky with pressures this season, although he’s let up just one sack, per PFF.

Question 4: Who’s an under-the-radar player or two that Jaguars fans should watch for on Sunday?

Rookie defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell is a name to watch alongside rookie safety R.J. Mickens. Both players have done well this year when given an increase in workload. With veteran safeties Tony Jefferson and Elijah Molden recently dealing with injuries, Mickens has come in and picked off two passes. Caldwell can be a bit hot-and-cold, but his splashes as both a run stopper and pass rusher have given the Chargers some juice when he shows up. These guys aren’t world-beaters just yet, but they have managed to come through enough times that I believe you do have to think twice before attacking either one with a matchup you like.

Question 5: Do you expect the Chargers to cover as 3-point favorites, and do you like any bets/props?

I do like the Chargers to win this game by at least three points. I have them winning 24-20 in my personal prediction. As far as prop bets go, I think you should hammer Justin Herbert’s passing props. Whatever the yardage is, bet the over. I think his passing TDs is also set at 1.5 and I believe he gets over that. The Jaguars have a better run defense than pass defense and I think this will be a game where we see a lot of passes from LA.

Thanks to Michael for taking the time to answer our questions!

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers are set to square off in Week 11 of the 2025 season.

With the Jags coming off a historically bad loss in Week 10, it’s a great op to respond to adversity.

“I’m sure there’s still some ticked off [feelings],” head coach Liam Coen said Friday. “It’s okay to be ticked off. But as long as the way that we approach practice and the way that we approach this game is rooted in, man, we can’t let that —never again … We can use it as motivation, a learning moment.”

AFC Playoff Picture: Jacksonville Jaguars’ win over Chargers is huge in wild card race

The Jacksonville Jaguars blew out the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and while the AFC playoff picture remains pretty similar, it is going to have implications down the line. The Chargers entered the day as the five seed with the Jaguars seventh, and that is still the case, but the Jags are a half-game behind the Chargers. Now Jacksonville has wins over two different wild card contenders in the Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

On Thursday, the New England Patriots won to take over the top spot in the conference from the Indianapolis Colts who are on a bye. Then the Denver Broncos took the top spot from New England with their Sunday afternoon win over the Chiefs. The Pittsburgh Steelers on to maintain ownership of the AFC North for now.

The Buffalo Bills won to move past the Chargers into fifth place in the conference as the top wild card team.

A chunk of 5-5 teams are knocking on the door with the Houston Texans, kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens all on the outside looking in.

The Indianapolis Colts were on the bye and lost the top spot in the conference.

The Las Vegas Raiders play on Monday night but it won’t impact the standings.

1. Denver Broncos (9-2, 6-2 AFC)
2. New England Patriots (9-2, 5-2 AFC)
3. Indianapolis Colts (8-2, win over DEN)

Jaguars Winners & Losers from Week 11: Everybody Wins As Jaguars Obliterate Chargers

I officially give up on trying to figure this team out. In a good way.

Last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars hit the ultimate rock bottom by giving up the franchise’s biggest blown lead to a bad division rival. How do they respond? By dogwalking the Los Angeles Chargers to the tune of a 35-6 blowout win, moving the Jags to 6-4 on the season.

The Jags are inconsistent, but Sunday showed just how good they can be when they play to their strengths. Both Liam Coen and Anthony Campanile looked like they heard my weekly gripes about how the team looks unprepared and prepared the ever-living hell out of the Jags for Sunday’s beatdown. Basically, from the first Jaguar drive, the Chargers had no answers.

There quite literally was no better way to respond from a devastating loss than thumping a team you were previously looking up at in the Wild Card standings. Victory Monday feels oh so good, especially when it comes to handing the Chargers another devastating loss at EverBank Stadium.

WINNERS

Liam Coen

For the first time all season, the Jaguars scored offensive touchdowns in all four quarters. Talk about a way to respond by a rookie head coach.

If you read this series weekly, I have bemoaned the lack of preparation and the overall dysfunction of the Jags in the first year under Coen. On Sunday, the team was as prepared as ever.

The Jags committed just one penalty all day, resulting in just five yards for the Chargers. For a team that averages about 8.5 penalties per game, this was such a refreshing outing by both sides of the ball, especially considering there were backups playing all over the field.

Outside of the one bad pick by Trevor Lawrence and whatever that drive after the pick was, Coen called a masterful game and took advantage of the team’s strengths. Jacksonville can deploy a stable of running backs and did so against the Chargers, running the ball to the tune of a noisy 192 yards. Even Lawrence got in on the running action, notching a rushing score which put him third in the NFL in total quarterback rushing touchdowns.

Sunday’s game was the first such game since 2009, and the eighth in team history, where the Jags had four rushing scores. Coen saw his matchup and took advantage. With how well the Jags ran the ball and played offense overall, it should be noted that the team didn’t punt a single time.

I’ve said the Jags have bottomed out multiple times this season. Maybe it took really, truly bottoming out last week to get back to the basics and reinvigorate this team and its coaches.

Coen had maybe his best game as a head coach on Sunday. Good for him.

“We play better pissed off.”

— BrentDanStuartMarcelAlivia (@ActionSportsJax) November 16, 2025

Anthony Campanile

Another coach who rose to the challenge mightily was first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile.

This defense sucked in recent weeks. The turnovers weren’t coming and the sacks were coming even less. That all changed Sunday.

Jacksonville’s defense recorded three sacks – more on that below – and grabbed a pick. The team’s six total quarterback hits, and B.J. Green’s bodybagging of Justin Herbert, knocked the Chargers’ franchise quarterback out of the game. All day long this defense dominated a potent Chargers offense to the point where, outside of Keenan Allen, it looked like the Chargers weren’t even rolling out a full 11 players.

The Chargers had just 135 yards and six points. The six total points LA scored was its lowest output thus far and the fewest points allowed by the Jaguar defense all season.

As I said about Coen, coach Camp also found a way to get back to the basics and regroup his unit. He did so against a solid team at that. Hats off.

Jaguars held the Chargers to 135 yards, the second-fewest they have allowed in the last 15 years (Panthers, 124 in 2023) and the fifth-fewest in franchise history.

— Michael DiRocco (@ESPNdirocco) November 16, 2025

Defensive Line Play

I have had some critical words for Josh Hines-Allen and crew this season. Much of it was maybe deserved. Maybe some of it wasn’t. All that was out the window Sunday when the Jaguars returned to their Sacksonville roots and dominated along the defensive front.

The Chargers have a bottom-tier offensive line as it is, and Jacksonville actually took advantage of it. The Chargers were forced to swap left tackles late, but at that point, it didn’t even come close to mattering.

Travon Wallker had half a sack. Danny Striggow of all people had half a sack. Arik Armstead had two TFLs and made an impact all day. Most importantly, the pressure-getter himself, Hines-Allen, recorded a full sack to break the team’s all-time sack record. What a return to greatness moment for the Jacksonville defensive line.

Outside of just sacks, the Chargers were only able to run the ball for 42 yards. Also, much of the inability for LA to throw the ball was due to pressure being in Herbert’s face all afternoon.

Someone must have lit a serious fire under the butts of the guys along the defensive front and boy did it work. I have been critical of this group greatly. But for one week, I can only give much due praise.

The Secondary

Playing a decent bit of backups, the Jaguar secondary was excellent all game.

Despite playing without Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis and Eric Murray, plus Greg Newsome going down with an injury, it didn’t ever feel like the Jags were struggling to protect against the pass. The secondary got some help from the defensive front, but I think you can accurately say the backend held its own regardless.

Buster Brown played well. Andrew Wingard didn’t blow any major assignments. Antonio Johnson even got a pick. Christian Braswell played big minutes. Only four Chargers recorded catches, with the leading receiver, future Hall of Famer Keenan Allen, recording 53 yards. What Jaguar fan or coach wouldn’t take that?

The defensive coaches came to the table with an excellent gameplan and the players executed. Shoutout a solid day from a secondary that many probably didn’t expect much at all from.

Bhayshul Tuten

Tank who?

Rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten has been a revelation for Jacksonville, running about as hard as any rook has ever run. Against the Chargers, it looked like Tuten was going against high schoolers as he rumbled and romped for a career-high 74 yards.

He almost broke a couple for big gains but did score his third touchdown of the year before going down with a late injury. No need to speculate, but the hope is he was held out because the game was already out of hand.

Tuten’s 74 yards were part of a 192-yard day that saw Jacksonville run through the heart of the Chargers’ defense at every turn. He and Travis Etienne make a formidable 1-2 punch, one the Chargers had zero answer for.

The Connection Between Jakobi Meyers and Trevor Lawrence

There is no need to get into the “Did Trevor Lawrence Play Well Today” debate. We do that too often.

One aspect Lawrence certainly did well was finding Jakobi Meyers. The newly acquired receiver led the team led the Jags for the second straight week with five catches for 64 yards. Meyers has eight catches on nine for 105 yards in his two games in a Jacksonville uniform.

The skill players on offense have been decimated with injuries, thus the need to get a sure-handed receiver like Meyers. So far, so good in that department. Meyers had an even better day when considering Lawrence went 3-7 when targeting usual No. 1 option Parker Washington.

The Offensive Line

There wouldn’t have been the big day for the running backs if it weren’t for the day the offensive line had.

The offensive line, which got Ezra Cleveland back, pushed the Chargers all over the field and was the catalyst for the huge running game. Look at how they moved the defensive line for Lawrence’s rushing score.

pic.twitter.com/Z2uAQAvzju

— Fitz (@LaurieFitzptrck) November 16, 2025

Speaking of Lawrence, the offensive line kept his jersey clean. That unit didn’t allow a sack and gave up just two quarterback hits. They did so without Anton Harrison.

Last week, the unit blew chunks. This week, the unit rose to the occasion and got the job done.

LOSERS
There Is No Telling What Happens Next Week

Keen observers of this article have noticed I keep referencing last week. Because it is just that: One week ago, the Jags played their worst half of football maybe ever. Against Davis Mills, no less.

Then one week later, the team goes around and gets Herbert benched. There is just no telling what this team might do next week.

That type of rollercoaster ride is frustrating as all hell, but it might just be what the team is going to be in Year One under Coen. Maybe consistency is going to come with time but it sure would be nice to come right about now.

The team started the year with a lopsided win, then a loss to a backup quarterback. They rattled off three straight solid victories before two lopsided losses, an overtime win against a bad team and then the Texans loss. All to then beat the Chargers by 29. All you can really do is just laugh and move along.

The Jags have two easily winnable next on the schedule. How nice would it be if they… Now bear with me… Just went out and won them convincingly?

Jaguars vs Cardinals: Week 12 opening odds

The Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4) will travel west to face the Arizona Cardinals (3-7) at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 23, at State Farm Stadium.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 2.5-point favorites and the total is set at 47.5 points.

Arizona is coming off its seventh loss in eight games, while Jacksonville is fresh off a convincing bounce-back win. Josh Hines-Allen finally broke the franchise’s all-time sack record on Sunday.

“I don’t think it was ever a chase thing,” said the 56-sack man postgame. “It was just for me, just playing football and doing what I needed to do. I’m ready to go out, watch this film. Who are we playing next week? Arizona. Good, young team, I think. Go out there and play as fast as I can as hard as I can and play the same game plan we did today.”

The Jaguars registered a season-high 50% pressure rate against the Chargers in Week 11, per Next Gen Stats. UDFA rookies B.J. Green II and Danny Striggow were a big part of that. Hopefully, the pass rush and the rest of the team can keep their momentum.

The following Jacksonville players left Sunday’s game due to injury:

• CB Greg Newsome (ankle)
• DE Travon Walker (knee) – returned in the third quarter
• RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle)

1st Quarter

The Jacksonville defense began the day with a quick three-and-out, courtesy of a Travon Walker forced intentional grounding on first down. However, after the punt, the Jacksonville offense put together a promising 10-play, 47-yard drive before turning the ball over on downs. Instead of attempting the 58-yard field goal attempt – well inside Cam Little’s range, the offense attempted to convert the fourth and three in the air. The ball fell incomplete, with Lawrence hitching at his first read, Parker Washington, who seemed open on the play.

Taking over near midfield, the Jacksonville defense held, forcing a 41-yard field goal after giving up two early first downs. (Jaguars 0, Chargers 3)

The Jacksonville offense picked up on the following drive, answering with a 6-play, 74-yard Bhayshul Tuten touchdown drive, buoyed by a 31-yard defensive pass interference penalty on the Chargers to move Jacksonville into the redzone. Tuten took the final three rushes of the drive for 21 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown to take the early lead. (Jaguars 7, Chargers 3)

2nd Quarter

The Jacksonville defense continued their early dominance with another three-and-out, featuring a Travon Walker, Danny Striggow shared sack on first down to force the punt. However, Lawrence surrendered his first turnover of the matchup on the following play, throwing an interception late and inside, intended for WR Tim Patrick.

The defense, again held to a field goal, following a third down Josh Hines-Allen sack, securing his franchise record 56th career sack, passing DE Tony Brakens (55.0 sacks). (Jaguars 7, Chargers 6)

Following the field goal, Jacksonville continued to dominate via the ground game, opening the drive with a 15-yard Tuten rush, followed by a 16-yard, beautifully-designed delayed tight end leak out by Johnny Mundt. Travis Etienne wrapped up the drive with a Wildcat direct snap touchdown rush from the two-yard line. (Jaguars 14, Chargers 6)

After driving into Jacksonville territory, Chargers’ head coach Jim Harbaugh decided to go for it on fourth-and-seven, with 34 seconds remaining in the half. However, a terrible penalty on BJ Green for Roughing the Passer resulted in offsetting penalties, allowing Harbaugh to change his mind with his franchise quarterback on the sideline being checked on by the trainers.

Post-game notables:

1. The team emphatically answered this week’s questions

A dominant home win took place on Sunday, following a week of significant questions being asked about this Jacksonville team, after surrendering a 19-point fourth quarter lead to the Houston Texans. Liam Coen and Anthony Campanile’s units showed up like a team aware of what was at stake. Despite WR Brian Thomas Jr, TE Brenton Strange and Hunter Long, CB Jourdan Lewis, and RT Anton Harrison all being held out with injuries this week, the team looked up to the challenge early in this one. Not only was the team mentally locked in, but they were disciplined. In their cleanest game of the season, Jacksonville had just one accepted penalty for five yards on Sunday.

2. Offensive line came to play

The Jaguars, while facing the NFL’s No. 5 sacking defense without RT Anton Harrison, surrendered a total of zero sacks to the Chargers. Additionally, they were simply dominant on the ground, rushing for 192 yards on 47 carries (4.1 yards per rush) for four touchdowns. You will win most games in the NFL with a performance like that, keeping that pass rush off balance.

3. Defense Dominant

Even after losing CB Greg Newsome and DE Travon Walker (temporarily), the defense continued their full game dominance with three three-and-outs, two turnovers on downs, an interception, and three sacks on the day. Justin Herbert had one of the worst games of his career, going 10-18 for 81 yards (4.5 YPA) and an interception with two sacks for -18 yards and a 44.0 passer rating. Additionally, Herbert was the Chargers’ leading rusher with just 21 yards on the ground, as Campanile’s defense held LA to 2.6 yards per rush (42 yards on 16 carries).

Sacks, Hits, and Havoc: Is Another Big Pass Rush Week on the Way?

In week 12, the Jacksonville Jaguars will again face one of their most fearsome opponents of the 2025 season: the savvy veteran, backup quarterback.

Following a week five injury to starting quarterback Kyler Murray, which eventually landed him on IR, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over the starting role to the tune of a 66.7% completion rate, 11 touchdowns and just three turnovers in a five-game stretch. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are coming off a dominant showing up front, sacking Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert three times while pressuring him on half of his 25 dropbacks.

With Herbert’s propensity to hold the ball for longer periods, in search of a downfield explosive play, the Jaguars’ front seven capitalized on those opportunities, with 14 of their 21 week 11 pressures coming more than 3 seconds from the snap.

Throughout the year, the defense has leaned into sending extra blitzers on a more frequent basis due to their recent struggles to get the quarterback down.

Campanile is sending extra rushers more and more as the season progresses. makes sense since the four man rush isn't getting home

The blitz has been fruitful for the Jaguars in generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks, as they currently rank fourth in the NFL in average time to pressure when blitzing (2.28 seconds). However, they’re 11th in the league when rushing just the four players (2.75 seconds).

When facing veteran quarterbacks who consistently get the ball out quickly (2.3-2.7 seconds), the team has regularly struggled. Liam Coen touched on this before the team’s week 10 matchup.

“Yeah, the flat-out bottom line is we’ve got to go affect the quarterback better. And whether that’s with scheme or with people, we’ve got to affect. Now look, I’ll say this out of all the attempts the other day, I think there was like 88 percent—I don’t know what crazy percentage of the time the ball was coming out at about two point something [seconds]. They were running a ton of quick option routes, zone coverage, just kind of pick and dink, dink, dink, dink, dink. So, it does become hard to ultimately get to the quarterback when it’s like almost quick game, but it’s not. It’s that in-between of drop back pass that I think Vegas did a pretty good job of attacking us that way.

Jacksonville’s defensive average time to throw of 2.56 seconds (sixth) feels dominant in comparison to Brissett’s average time to throw (which has slowly improved over the past two weeks):

• Week 6 (at Colts): 3.29 seconds
• Week 7 (vs Packers): 2.91 seconds
• Week 9 (at Cowboys): 3.13 seconds
• Week 10 (at Seahawks): 2.83 seconds
• Week 11 (vs 49ers): 2.73 seconds

In week 11, Brissett notably had his best average time to throw of the 2025 season, at 2.73 seconds. Despite a whopping 57 dropbacks, Arizona tied for a season-low with four quarterback hits and no sacks surrendered in the matchup. They might think it wise to continue this trend of getting the ball out quickly when facing a Jacksonville defense that has shown significant struggles in defending the quick game.

#Jaguars are getting killed in the quick game.

Brissett has a 90.4 passer rating, 63.7 completion rate, -5.2 EPA, 11 sacks surrendered, and a 3.00-second time to throw when facing four rushers. However, against the blitz, his play rises to a 126.8 passer rating, 77.8 completion rate, +10.5 EPA, 7 sacks surrendered, and a 2.86-second time to throw.

Like last week, this game may be shaping up to favor another multi-sack game for Jacksonville if they can find a way to get home with four in less than three seconds. Unless Arizona comes in with a much faster passing operation for the week, this may likely determine the game. Can Jacksonville get home with just four? Will defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile trust them early on to win without throwing extra guys into the mix? Can the back end hold on long enough to force Brissett to become uncomfortable in the pocket? We will find out on Sunday.

How many sacks, if any, do you predict for the Jacksonville defense on Sunday, Duval? Let us know below in the comments.

Jaguars Reacts Survey: Where does Josh Hines-Allen rank among all-time Jaguars?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jaguars fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

Jaguars fans — are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?

And where does Josh Hines-Allen rank among the team’s all-time greats?

Hines-Allen is the most accomplished pass rusher in franchise history. His sack against Justin Herbert on Sunday was the 56th of his career, passing Tony Bracken’s total of 55 for the most by a Jaguar.

“I don’t think it was ever a chase thing,” he said after the game. “It was just, for me, just playing football and doing what I needed to do. I’m ready to go out, watch this film. Who are we playing next week?”

The New Jersey native also ranks first in tackles for loss (69), first in quarterback hits (137), third in forced fumbles (10), and 17th in combined tackles (323) in franchise history. Sunday was his 100th regular season game, making him just the 30th Jaguar to reach that mark.

Jacksonville’s ring of honor, The Pride of the Jaguars, only has four players in it: Tony Boselli, Mark Brunell, Fred Taylor, and Jimmy Smith. Is Hines-Allen worthy of joining that group?

Jaguars shoot back up NFL power rankings entering Week 12

As we’ve seen firsthand over the past 10 days, the NFL is a week-to-week league.

The Jaguars experienced the lowest of lows in Week 10 when Davis Mills and the rival Texans scored 26 fourth quarter points to complete a historic comeback. Then the script was flipped on Sunday when Jacksonville won by 29 points in a game where Josh Hines-Allen became the franchise sack leader.

“Ultimately, we now owe it to each other to play that way for the rest of the year as much as possible,” head coach Liam Coen said after the Week 11 drubbing. “That’s got to be our mindset as a team, is like, we owe it to each other now, to put that on tape as much as possible for the remainder of the season and let the results be what they may.”

As Week 12 approaches, we rounded up the latest NFL power rankings to get a sense of how the Jaguars are viewed nationally.

Pro Football Talk: 11 (last week: 17)​

From Mike Florio:

Will their latest signature win have staying power?

The Ringer: 13 (18)​

From Diante Lee:

The only thing Jacksonville’s been able to bank on this season is its run game, and sure enough, that’s what led the way in Sunday’s dominant win over the Chargers. Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten (lightning … and more lightning) combined to rush for 147 yards and three scores. When that duo is playing well, you can see how the Jaguars might be a team that could win a playoff game.

I don’t have the same optimism about much else. There’s no telling if the passing game or defense will support the run game each week, and that makes it hard to trust the Jags. I’ll just watch from a safe distance.

CBS Sports: 13 (19)​

From Pete Prisco:

Coach Liam Coen deserves a lot of credit for leading his team to a blowout of the Chargers after the devastating loss to the Texans. This team would be in the playoffs if they started right now.

USA Today: 14 (14)​

From Nate Davis:

As he muddles threw his worst passing season since he was a rookie, it’s interesting to note the Jags are using QB Trevor Lawrence as a runner − nearly five rushes per game − more than at any point in his five-year career. Maybe he and DE Josh Hines-Allen can really catch fire while facing three sub-.500 opponents over the next four weeks.

The Athletic: 14 (19)​

From Josh Kendall and Chad Graff:

A suggestion: Feed Bhayshul Tuten

The rookie had a career-high 15 carries Sunday and turned them into a career-best 74 yards. He suffered an ankle injury that’s worth monitoring because he gave the Jaguars run game some pop, powering what turned into a season-high 35 points for Jacksonville.

Fox Sports: 14 (19)​

From Ralph Vacchiano:

Two weeks ago, they needed OT to beat the Raiders. Last week, they blew a 19-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Texans. This week … they thoroughly beat down the Chargers? Where did that come from?

Bleacher Report: 15 (17)​

From Gary Davenport:

Will someone please explain the Jacksonville Jaguars to me.

They destroyed a good Chargers team. They outgained the Bolts by 300 yards, allowed just 135 yards of offense and held Justin Herbert under 100 passing yards. Considering the quality of the opponent, it was one of the best single-game efforts we have seen from an NFL team in 2025.

However, this is also a Jaguars team that got stomped by the Rams not that long ago and needed overtime (and a Geno Smith vapor-lock) to get past a poor Raiders team in Las Vegas.

Jacksonville’s next two games are on the road and look easier. If Trevor Lawrence and Co. want to be taken seriously in the AFC, they have to win the games they should—and be 8-4 when they welcome the Colts on December 7.

Yahoo Sports: 15 (19)​

From Frank Schwab:

Blowing that game to the Texans in Week 10 could be damaging. Imagine if the Jaguars were just a game behind the Colts now. As is, the emphatic win over the Chargers puts the Jaguars right back in the race. And the tiebreaker over the Chiefs might loom large by the end of the season.

NFL.com: 16 (18)​

From Eric Edholm:

After blowing a 19-point fourth-quarter lead at Houston, the Jaguars couldn’t afford a loss Sunday, and they delivered one of their best all-around showings of the season. That it came with several key players missing — including their top three cornerbacks and three key pass catchers — made it all the more impressive. Trevor Lawrence wasn’t perfect, but he was effective outside of a poor throw on his lone interception. The Jags will take more performances like this from Lawrence, especially when the run game is cooking like it was Sunday (192 yards). They should be receiving reinforcements from injured players returning, with two games to prepare before the first of two big showdowns against the Colts in Week 14.

Sports Illustrated: 16 (20)​

From Conor Orr:

Being a Jaguars punter can be a yeoman-like grind. But finally, for the first time in his professional life, Logan Cooke wasn’t used a single time. You should still donate to his charity anyway.

ESPN: 17 (17)​

From Mike DiRocco:

Who’s under the most pressure: Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr .

His early-season struggles (five drops, several instances of avoiding contact) lost him the WR1 role to Travis Hunter. Now that Hunter is out for the season after right knee surgery, the Jaguars need Thomas to be the playmaker he was as a rookie, when he finished third in the NFL with 1,282 receiving yards. Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington can work the middle of the field and intermediate routes, but Thomas has to be a downfield threat again.

The Jaguars’ average rank this week is 14.7, up from 18.0 last week.

First quarter

The Jaguars won the coin toss and elected to defer. On the Chargers’ first offensive play, Travon Walker immediately pressured Justin Herbert on a bootleg rollout to force an intentional grounding penalty. Herbert threw two screens before L.A. was forced to punt.

Jacksonville picked up three first downs thanks to Austin Trammel, Jakobi Meyers, and Travis Etienne, but the drive stalled out when Trevor Lawrence sailed a 4th-and-3 pass to Meyers.

L.A. was in good field position with the Jaguars turning the ball over on the Chargers’ 41-yard line. Herbert completed a 13-yard throw to Oronde Gadsden and scrambled twice for small gains. His 3rd-and-3 pass to Gadsden was well-defended by Montaric Brown, and the Bolts settled for a 41-yard field goal.

Jaguars 0, Chargers 3

Jacksonville marched 74 yards downfield in six plays, largely thanks to a bailout of a 31-yard DPI. That penalty put the Jaguars 15 yards from the endzone. Bhayshul Tuten took care of the rest by rushing for a first down, then a touchdown. The good guys are on the board!

Second quarter

A split sack by Walker and Danny Striggow, followed by a huge TFL by Devin Lloyd, led to a three-and-out from the Chargers on their next drive.

Jacksonville promptly lost all its momentum thanks to an interception by Lawrence. It was about as ugly as usual.

The Chargers had good field position again and found themselves at 3rd-and-10 in the redzone. Herbert bought some time, but Josh Hines-Allen eventually swooped in to record his 56th career sack — the franchise’s all-time record! Congrats, 41!

The sack ended the Chargers’ touchdown hopes, but they still connected on a 46-yard field goal.

Jaguars 7, Chargers 6

Lawrence had another brutal pass on Jacksonville’s next drive — he underthrew Quintin Morris on a well-designed leak route that should’ve been a touchdown. The good news is that, behind an uber-efficient rushing attack, the Jaguars marched downfield and scored anyway! Etienne punched in a 2-yard touchdown on a wildcat carry.

Los Angeles used up pretty much all of the remaining three and a half minutes in the first half. UDFA rookie B.J. Green II had a hard-hitting sack that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty, but the Jaguars were still able to force a punt.

Third quarter

Jacksonville opened the second half with a nice 11-play, 65-yard scoring drive. It was propelled by an 11-yard throw to Parker Washington, a 21-yarder to Meyers, and a 10-yarder to Tim Patrick, and Lawrence finished it with his legs. What could go wrong over the next 20 minutes of game time?

For a second time, Travon Walker helped force a three-and-out by getting a hit on Herbert.

Fourth quarter

Jacksonville’s second drive of the second half bled into the final quarter, as the offense put together a 16-play, 76-yard drive that took over nine minutes off the clock (!) and resulted in a Tim Patrick touchdown. Liam Coen is in his bag, folks.

With 11 minutes remaining, Jim Harbaugh raised the white flag by replacing Herbert with Trey Lance. Both teams weirdly exchanged 4-and-outs for consecutive turnovers on downs.

Lance evaded a sack against Dawuane Smoot and found Gadsden down the sideline for 28 yards, but their drive eventually ended with a 4th down sack by Arik Armstead. He has 5.5 sacks this season, his most since 2021.

Coen put Nick Mullens and the rest of Jacksonville’s backups in to ice the game. Thank goodness we didn’t get a repeat of last week!

Jaguars Rookie Report: Bhayshul Tuten breaks out in dominant Week 11

The Jacksonville Jaguars followed up their disastrous collapse against the Texans a week ago with a truly dominant performance on Sunday. The Jags beat the visiting LA Chargers 35 to 6 which was their largest margin of victory since the Sacksonville days in 2017. The running game lead the charge to the offensive explosion and it was rookie running back, Bhayshul Tuten, that really set the tone early as he had his best game as a pro on Sunday.

Love this play design! Tuten for 6 pic.twitter.com/Q9hXTnLWlb

— Fitz (@LaurieFitzptrck) November 16, 2025

He was the story of the day but it was a solid overall showing across the board from the 2025 rookie draft class. Let’s break down each of their performances in the huge Week 11 win.

Bhayshul Tuten

Rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten flashed in a major way on Sunday and the coaching staff rewarded him for it by giving him a career-high 15 carries in the game. He finished with 74 yards and a TD and would have likely had an even bigger day if not for an injury early in the fourth quarter. Before that, he had out-carried Travis Etienne 15 to 13 and seven of those carries went for first downs. One of those came on a hard-earned fourth down conversion in the second quarter which resulted in an eventual touchdown that sparked a 28-0 run the rest of the way.

— Brian Baldinger (@BaldyNFL) November 19, 2025

His power and speed through the gaps have flashed all year but this was the first time fans got a heavy dose of what Tuten can do for this offense. His style of running is a terrific contrast to what Etienne provides, and if he keeps running like this, we could see more of a split backfield approach as the team leans into this run-heavy identity.

Wyatt Milum

Due to the game getting out of hand late, Wyatt Milum was able to get his first offensive snaps of the season on Sunday as he came in for the final eight play drive to drain the clock. He helped pave the way for an eight play drive of all running plays that gained 36 yards and converted two fourth and short opportunities. Milum just recently returned from injury after having an impressive camp.

Jack Kiser

Linebacker Jack Kiser continues to be a core special teamer for the Jaguars but he had a quiet day on Sunday. He didn’t register a tackle, however, he did fill his gaps for a kick coverage unit that allowed less than 25 yards a return against the Chargers which had been a bit of an issue over the last few weeks.

Rayuan Lane

Safety Rayuan Lane played 14 special teams stats and seven defensive snaps against the Chargers on Sunday. Although he didn’t record anything in the stat column, Lane is always in the mix when he’s on the field and continues to showcase a high energy and effort whenever he’s called upon. Lane is proving to be an important depth piece at safety and has been awesome on special teams all season long.

Jonah Monheim

Like Milum, Jonah Monehim was on the field for that final clock-draining drive to end the game on Sunday and he did a nice job to seal his man on each of the eight runs. This marks the fourth game in the last six in which Monheim has gotten some play with the offense which will go a long way in his development. he continues to be a quality developmental depth piece on the interior for the Jaguars.

LeQuint Allen

On that eight play 36 yard drive mentioned, LeQuint Allen Jr. was the benefactor of each of those carries as he nearly doubled his season total in rushes (5) on the day. On top of that, Allen continues to be called upon for blitz pickup duty on passing downs and has answered the bell and more. He’s got an old school mentality at the running back position as he doesn’t mind doing the dirty work out of the backfield. This has earned him a lot of praise over the course of the season as Allen has become a favorite of fans, coaches and players alike.

“LeQuint Allen is one of my favorite teammates I’ve ever had. He’s the best pass-blocking running back in the NFL — and I don’t think it’s close”

Jaguars’ BJ Green Avoids Fine for Justin Herbert Hit

In an interesting series of events, the Jacksonville Jaguars received a bit of unexpected news on Saturday when the league released its weekly Accountability Report, which lists all fines levied each week for all NFL matchups. Only one fine was listed from the Los Angeles Chargers matchup to the Jaguars, and it wasn’t applied to a Jacksonville player. Chargers Linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips was fined $11,160 for his fourth-quarter facemask on Jacksonville running back LeQuint Allen, during the Jaguars’ fourth-and-one conversion with under three minutes remaining in the game.

On a more surprising note, Jaguars rookie undrafted free agent defensive end BJ Green II avoided a fine by the NFL for his hit on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Many around the league expected Green to be fined the league standard for roughing the quarterback penalty of $17,389 for the hard second-quarter hit, which resulted in a flag for Unnecessary Roughness, putting the Chargers’ quarterback in the blue medical tent temporarily before halftime.

— Scott Procter (@ScottProcter_) November 16, 2025

Green bowled over Los Angeles right tackle Trey Pipkins, sacked Herbert, while seemingly keeping his body weight to the side, attempting to avoid driving the quarterback into the ground. Nevertheless, the controversial play was penalized, negating Green’s first career sack, to the ire of Jacksonville fans and even former NFL Defensive Player of the Year (and Houston Texan) defensive end J.J. Watt.

Didn’t hit high.
Didn’t hit low.
Didn’t hit with head.
Didn’t land body weight on him.

Looks like he might actually brace the fall with his right arm.

It’s hard enough to get to the QB as it is,
let’s not take away clean sacks from guys.

This is still football… https://t.co/DAhPS12eNW

— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) November 17, 2025

While Chargers fans will undoubtedly be furious that the league didn’t fine Green, they made the right call here in refusing any additional punishment. Unfortunately, Green will still not receive credit for the negated sack. However, with Travon Walker ruled out for Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, BJ will likely have additional opportunities to make up for this lost opportunity.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals are set to square off in Week 12 of the 2025 season.

“Ultimately in a season, there’s highs and lows,” head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday. “But when you play as we played on Sunday, there’s a new standard now in terms of, okay, well that’s what it looks like when we prepare the way we did and got ourselves in the mindset, mentality to go play that way. And performed obviously, cleaner. The physicality and all that I really appreciated and we want every week, but it was just cleaner in a lot of ways and in all three phases. And so, that is the standard and we all kind of owe it to each other in that room to uphold that standard moving forward in terms of the way that we go about our business, prepare and ultimately play.”

OT Thriller: Jaguars Win in Arizona despite 4 Turnover Day by Lawrence

The Jacksonville Jaguars left the deserts of Arizona with a wild 27-24 win over the 3-8 Arizona Cardinals added to their record. A tough day at the office by quarterback Trevor Lawrence was salvaged by his clutch performance when it mattered most. The Jacksonville defense swarmed Cardinal’s quarterback in Jacoby Brissett, with 6 sacks on the day. Additionally, the win moves Jacksonville up to the sixth seed in the AFC playoff standings. While not the win most expected, there are no style points for victories in the NFL.

Here’s everything you need to know from Jacksonville’s Week 12 overtime road victory.

Pregame Notes:

The following Arizona players did not play in this one: WR Marvin Harrison Jr (appendix surgery), RB Emari Demercado (ankle), RB Trey Benson (meniscus), RT Jonah Williams (shoulder), and multiple others. Across the Cardinals’ roster, 15 players were listed on IR including QB Kyler Murray and Benson.

For Jacksonville, RT Anton Harrison (knee/ankle), WR Brian Thomas Jr (ankle), TE Hunter Long (hip/knee), DE Travon Walker (knee), and LB Yasir Abdullah (finger) were all inactive due to injuries throughout the week. Additionally WR/CB Travis Hunter, S Eric Murray, and S Caleb Ransaw are all on injured reserve, while TE Brenton Strange made his return from IR after a six week absence due to a hip injury.

Notably, the following Jacksonville players left Sunday’s game due to injury:

• LT Walker Little (knee) – returned to the game
• OL Chuma Edoga (calf)
• DL Danny Striggow (knee)

1st Quarter

Jacksonville kicked the matchup off on defense, missing DE Travon Walker. Nevertheless, the pressure on the quarterback remained, as Dennis Gardeck brought the Cardinals’ opening drive to a close with a Brissett sack on third-and-six.

The Jaguars offense proceeded to quickly drive 97-yards on just four plays in their opening drive. Brenton Strange immediately announced his presence, bringing in a 30-yard reception on Lawrence’s first pass, Travis Etienne then burst through the line for an explosive 45-yard run on the next snap, which he then followed up with a touchdown catch.

Jacksonville’s defense again gave Brissett trouble on the next series, with the only Cardinals glimpses of life occuring when blitzing. The defense regularly produced when rushing only four, as Davon Hamilton secured a the sack on this drive to force third down, where Jacksonville eventually forced the punt on the following play. The celebration was short-lived, however, as the Jacksonville offense instead surrendered points just three plays later, as Brenton Strange chipped the blitzing Jalen Thompson, who Lawrence did not see.

2nd Quarter

On the following drive, Lawrence pulled his own number, on consecutive third downs, rushing for 19 and 9-yard conversions. Yet, the Cardinals’ Nick Rallis defense continued to give the Jacksonville offense trouble identifying the blitz, with Lawrence being sacked on back to back drives – this one via Budda Baker on third down. Cam Little completed the 52-yard field goal to retake the lead. (Jaguars 10, Cardinals 7)

The Cardinals’ offense then put together their best drive of the day to take their first lead of the game. The Arizona offense seemed to began to find their grove in the quick passing game, a season-long struggle for the Jacksonville defense. The 9 play, 65-yard, 5:24 drive was helped courtesy of a 5-yard (automatic first down) Greg Newsome Illegal Contact penalty and a Devin Lloyd Roughing the Passer call. Arizona wrapped up the scoring drive with a Bam Knight one-yard touchdown rush to take the lead. (Jaguars 10, Cardinals 14)

The Jacksonville offense went three-and-out on the next drive, continuing to have no answer for the Cardinals’ third down pressure packages. While Lawrence wasn’t sacked on the down, barely getting rid of the pass, the damage was done with the drive ended. As a note, LT Walker Little left the game with a knee injury on the drive, with rookie Wyatt Milum entering the matchup in his absence.

After seemingly stopping the Cardinals on third down, forcing a fourth-and-one at the Arizona 34, Jonathan Gannon decided to line up to attempt to pick up the conversion or try to force Jacksonville to jump offsides. Jacksonville obliged, as Maason Smith jumped into the neutral zone to grant them the free first down. However, the Jaguars were bailed out, as the Cardinals’ Kicker Chad Ryland missed the 33-yard chip shot field goal. Arizona then took the four point lead into the half, after a Tim Patrick reception was reviewed and determined to be incomplete, followed by a third Lawrence sack as the halftime clock expired.

Halftime Stats:

• Score: Jaguars 10, Cardinals 14
• First downs: Jaguars 5, Cardinals 17
• Time of possession: Jaguars 9:28, Cardinals 20:32
• Sacks: Jaguars 2 for 15-yards, Cardinals 3 for 18-yards
• Turnovers forced: Jaguars 0, Cardinals 1
• Rushing yards: Jaguars 86, Cardinals 34
• Yards per rush: Jaguars 8.6, Cardinals 2.8

• Points off turnovers: Jaguars 0, Cardinals 7

At the half, Trevor Lawrence was 3/8 for 51-yards, one touchdown, one fumble for an Arizona touchdown, and 3 carries for 26-yards (8.7 YPC). Brissett was 20/25 for 161-yards, no touchdowns or turnovers at the half.

3rd Quarter

Jacksonville’s game to forget continued after the half, after an explosive Bhayshul Tuten 39-yard return set the offense up to quickly drive into the Arizona redzone, before disaster stroke via the former ‘Mayor of Jacksonville”, Calais Campbell.

With Meyers immediately beating the coverage off the line, what looked to be a sure touchdown turned into an endzone turnover. The defense stood strong forcing a three-and-out to give the ball back to the offense following an explosive 43-yard Parker Washington punt return. Meyers and Lawrence refused to be denied on this drive, as Lawrence hit Jakobi in the endzone, while under pressure. Jacksonville regained the lead with 8:10 remaining in the third. (Jaguars 17, Cardinals 14)

After giving up an early, contested Trey McBride first down (Montaric Brown in coverage) the defensive pressure ensured as Dennis Gardecks’ revenge game continued as he picked up his second sack of the matchup (1.5 sacks). For the second time in this matchup the Jaguars’ offense then gave the ball to the opposing team following what seemed to be a tide-turning defensive series, with a Trevor Lawrence turnover as his pass intended for Meyers was intercepted by Cardinals LB Akeem Davis-Gaither at the Jacksonville 39-yard line – Lawrence’s third turnover of the game.

However, the defense again bailed the offense out, this time via a Devin Lloyd first down sack which temporarily injured Brissett, followed by a five yard loss on a tight end rush on the following snap, with an eventual three-and-out punt.

4th Quarter

Following punts by both teams, the Jacksonville offense then began their first fourth quarter series in the shadow of their own endzone, from their own one-yard line. After riding the legs of Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten to get out of the redzone, Trevor Lawrence surrendered his fourth turnover of the game with a lead, this one a Budda Baker diving interception.

With the game on the line, the Jacksonville defense again came up big with an Antonio Johnson second down sack and an offensive pass interference setting up an eventual fourth and long. The last down last gasp fell incomplete. However, Jacksonville was unable to convert a first down, opting to pass on a short field goal attempt to go up 6 points with under two minutes to go. The fourth down play, an endzone pass to Tim Patrick, fell incomplete, giving Arizona the ball at their 20 with 1:40 remaining and no time outs, and down by three. Arizona used all but three of those seconds to move down the field with receptions of 16 and 31-yards, as Brissett found Dortch and Wilson to enter the redzone. Arizona attacked CB Christian Braswell on a double move with the game in the balance. However, with no timeouts remaining, they went the conservative router, converting the tying field goal from the 11-yard line with six second remaining. (Jaguars 24, Cardinals 24)

Overtime

The Jacksonville offense swiftly moved down the field to open the extra period, as Parker Washington climbed the latter on first down for a 25-yard sideline gain.

However, on third and four, Tim Patrick ran uncovered for what likely would have gone for the first down conversion, if not a touchdown. Patrick failed to notice that he was running wide open while running the clearout route.

After a first down Josh Hines-Allen sack and an Arizona conversion, the Cardinals were unable to convert the final fourth-and-four attempt from the 42-yard line, opting to go for it than attempt the 60-yard attempt. The pass fell incomplete with Jacksonville standing at 7-4.

My candidate for the best highlight is Trevor Lawrence and Parker Washington connecting for the back of the endzone throw while under pressure to take the lead. After giving up an untimely fourth turnover of the game, Lawrence made up for it never missing on the following drive to regain it.

Full highlights:

• You can watch the top plays of the Week 12 matchup on the NFL’s YouTube channel here.

Post-game notables:

1. Pass Rush Showed up

With the Jaguars entering the game missing defensive end Travon Walker, there were questions on if Jacksonville would be able to pressure Brissett following his 57 pass attempts in week 11. Well, Arizona allowed 42 pressures, six sacks, and seven QB hits in this one with both Dennis Gardeck and Devin Lloyd walking away with 1.5 sacks. And while this multi-sack game may have been expected, it’s a welcome sight to see this Jacksonville front outkick the coverage when matched up against the offensive lines they should dominate.

2. A Game to Forget For Lawrence

In a season of inconsistent quarterback play, Lawrence’s performance on Sunday left more questions than answers. A four turnover day highlighted by a defensive turnover surrendered soiled what would and should have been a multi-touchdown victory for Jacksonville. In an even more difficult to understand performance, 3 of the 4 turnovers occurred with the Jaguars in control of the game and leading. Liam Coen has his work cut out for him in attempting to figure out how to get the best out of ‘gunslinger’, “Let it Rip” Trevor, while reigning him in to be a game manager who doesn’t give the matchup away whenever they have a lead.

3. Playoffs on deck?

However frustrating the performance may have been, at the end of the day your Jacksonville Jaguars are 7 and 4, one game back in the AFC South race, and the sixth seed in the AFC following a four win campaign and the offseason firing of Trent Baalke. There’s not much else that can reframe the current scenario better than those facts. Enjoy your Victory Monday, Duval. Winning feels good.

Jaguars vs. Cardinals winners and losers: Defense steps up in chaotic OT win

The Jacksonville Jaguars have won yet another rollercoaster, chaos-filled football game with the team’s 27-24 overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals.

It’s getting hard to describe this Jaguars team as they couldn’t be more up and down. While they may be heart attack inducing every weekend, they are still gutting out one-score games. So far this year the Jags have won five games decided by a single score. That is one of the big signs of a solid team, especially when it comes to getting late in the season and in the playoffs.

Despite how frustrating this team may be to watch, the Jags are still 7-4 and firmly in the playoff hunt within the AFC. Had one flag gone Jacksonville’s way at Cincinnati and had the team not completely collapsed against the Texans, they’d be 9-2.

The defense stepped up Sunday on the west coast as the offense sputtered. Next week it could be the opposite. So buckle up, keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times and be ready for anything.

WINNERS

Defense

The Jags had six sacks today. They had two last week. They had eight total sacks in the previous seven games combined.

There’s been a lot of talk this season, and in this weekly segment, about the lack of sacks from the Jags. Travon Walker being hurt has not helped, but there still is plenty of talent to go around. The team captured that holistically Sunday after a strong outing last week. In terms of sacks, Dennis Gardeck and Devin Lloyd each had 1.5. Josh Hines-Allen, DaVon Hamilton and Antonio Johnson each added a solo sack of their own.

The best part about that list is the guys actually getting those sacks.

In a revenge outing against the Cardinals, Gardeck was all over the place. He hadn’t had a sack all year but came alive against his former team. Lloyd was back to banging heads from the linebacker position. Don’t look now but JHA has sacks in consecutive games for the first time this season. Even a guy like Johnson got in the backfield after a strong game last week.

It was a whole defensive effort and a true back to form performance by the defense overall.

Trevor Lawrence threw three picks and the defense gave up just one touchdown off of those turnovers. Lawrence’s fumble was returned for a score so this defensive unit should only be on the hook for 17 total points. That’s 23 combined points in the last two weeks. That’s a winning strategy.

Injuries have not helped this unit – see Christian Braswell having to play a ton and biting on the double move in the fourth – but the defense responds. This group bottomed out against the Texans three weeks ago but have responded in a humongous way in the past two weeks.

Foye Oluokun

Getting his own special defensive shoutout is Foye Oluokun, who surpassed 1,000 career tackles in the win. He was tied with Andrew Wingard for a team-high 10 tackles. He also added a tackle for loss.

Lloyd was certainly the flashier linebacker of the two, but Oluokun plays with such consistency that it shouldn’t be overshadowed. Having a savvy veteran like Oluokun to flank Lloyd is an awesome combo. Add in Gardeck playing well and the Jags have a hell of a linebacker unit.

And a special shoutout to Yale football for winning the Ivy League and clinching a spot in the FCS playoffs. Big weekend for Oluokun.

Cam Little

Simple and effective game for good ol’ Cam Little. Whoever said he was washed and the team should add another kicking leg should be ashamed!

Little went 2/2 from the field and 3/3 on extra points. He connected on a pair of 52-yarders including the game winner in overtime. In a game that was in part decided by a missed field goal, it was actually settling to know we had Little coming out to win a ball game.

. @cameronglittle converted two field goals from 52 yards in today's game, including the overtime game-winner. Little's 10 career field goals made from 50-plus yards are tied with K Jason Myers and K Mike Hollis for third most in franchise history. pic.twitter.com/HWChtiMRjM

— JaguarsPR (@JaguarsPR) November 24, 2025

Parker Washington

The best day by a wide receiver was had by Parker Washington, leading the wide receiver room with five catches for 71 yards and a score.

It has been up to Washington and Jakobi Meyers to hold up the offense in the absence of Travis Hunter, Brenton Strange and Brian Thomas Jr. The pair have done a pretty good job of locking it down.

No one play by Washington was bigger than his fourth quarter touchdown to give his team the lead, 24-21. Lawrence trusted his guy and they had the connection on what should have been the gamewinner.

Something that might get a little forgotten by way of how the game ended was Washington having a strong day as a returner. While he only returned two punts, he did take one for 43 yards. That return set up a six play, 27 yard touchdown drive. We will not be discussing the safety that wasn’t a safety, thank you.

WHAT A DOT @CPW11_ | #JAXvsAZ on CBSpic.twitter.com/Bm4WWw4g7E

— Jacksonville Jaguars (@Jaguars) November 23, 2025

Brenton Strange

Good golly this team needed Brenton Strange back badly.

In his first game in about a month and a half, all Strange did was set his career high in receiving with 93 yards. He caught all five of his targets and led the team overall in catches and yards.

What a welcome back party for Strange. This game showed just how much a solid tight end can not only help this offense but just help Lawrence in all kinds of situations. Evan Engram was the safety blanket for a few years for Lawrence, now that guy is Strange. Either way, if it helps us win, keep on slinging the ball to the tight ends Trevor.

LOSERS

Offensive Linemen

Ok, there isn’t a healthy linemen left on this team. That’s probably not great. And it showed a bit Sunday.

Lawrence was sacked three times with one of those resulting in a scoop and score fumble. Not every sack was on the offensive line, it never is, but with how many guys that are banged up on this squad it feels like the dam could break at any second.

Anton Harrison was already not playing. Then Chuma Edoga got hurt. And Walker Little got briefly banged up. It isn’t like there is a ton of depth just sitting around on the bench. With Cole Van Lanen playing right tackle, the depth was almost depleted. This group was a twisted ankle away from having a serious issue in Arizona.

They got out relatively alright in the end and the fumble didn’t ruin the game. But I grow weary watching this group, even when the Jags win.

Trevor Lawrence

Lawrence isn’t a loser today because his stat line sucks. His stat line does suck, but let’s look at it from a broader view.

The interception in the end zone was tipped. That’s hard to put all on Lawrence. The fumble came from a bad block about three seconds after the snap. That’s just unfortunate.

Lawrence’s pick across the middle in the third quarter was bad but Budda Baker made a solid play on the final pick. It’s so hard to judge this dude playing quarterback sometimes. Here is some more in-depth reading on the matter courtesy of Sports Illustrated.

He made some solid throws like the touchdown to Washington and he made some throws that really shock you like the touchdown to Meyers. And then he goes and tosses more picks.

The national conversation is all over the place about Lawrence but he is an all over the place quarterback. Maybe he is the perfect embodiment of what this team is: a rollercoaster. For as many awesome plays as he has, he has his usual handful of boneheaded, awful mistakes. Rollercoasters go up and around and all around and it feels like maybe that is simply what Lawrence is going to be moving forward.

Ben Solak said it best today. Who the hell knows what type of Lawrence we will see next week. See ya then.

Trevor Lawrence throws a tipped INT in the red zone, allowing everyone to get their anti-Trevor tweets off, then throws a fadeaway TD in the teeth of the blitz, allowing everyone to get their pro-Trevor tweets off.

An excellent quarterback for the content

The Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4) will travel to face the Tennessee Titans (1-10) at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 30, at Nissan Stadium.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 6.5-point favorites and the total is set at 41.5 points.

“We’re not going to apologize for winning around here,” head coach Liam Coen said after Jacksonville’s Week 12 dub in Arizona. “That’s not anything we’re going to do, being 3-0 on the west coast.”

“Guys stepped up. Nobody flinched, nobody was walking around, head down, disappointed or frustrated. You’ve got to keep playing and that’s been the message for the last few weeks is to just keep playing. These guys closed it out when we needed to.”

We’d like to apologize…

AFC Playoff Picture: Jacksonville Jaguars move up in wild card

The Jacksonville Jaguars won on Sunday and coupled with the Buffalo Bills loss on Thursday night, Jacksonville has moved up from seventh to sixth in the AFC. The Jaguars’ biggest helpers in Week 12 was none other than the Houston Texans, who knocked off the Bills.

The Indianapolis Colts lost, too, so the Jags have an even better shot at the division crown here in 2025.

The Baltimore Ravens moved into the top slot in their division with a win and a loss by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers stayed idle on their bye.

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Colts, but they are still on the outside looking in with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Texans all at 6-5.

AFC standings after Week 12​

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers were on the bye this week along with the Miami Dolphins.

In the three-way tie at 6-5, the Chiefs are eliminated first because of a worse AFC record than Pittsburgh and Houston. The Steelers wins have come against teams with 30 total wins while the Texans’ wins have come against teams with a combined 29 wins. That can change very quickly.

1. New England Patriots (10-2)
2. Denver Broncos (9-2)
3. Indianapolis Colts (8-3)
4. Baltimore Ravens (6-5, 2-0 AFCN)
5. Los Angeles Chargers (7-4, 6-2 AFC)
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4, 4-2 AFC)
7. Buffalo Bills (7-4, 4-3 AFC)
8. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5, 5-2 AFC, SOV > HOU)
9. Houston Texans (6-5, 5-2 AFC, SOV < PIT)
10. Kansas City Chiefs (6-5, 3-4 AFC)
11. Miami Dolphins (4-7)
12. Cincinnati Bengals (3-8, win over CLE)
14. Cleveland Browns (3-8, loss to CIN)
13. Las Vegas Raiders (2-9)
15. New York Jets (2-9)
16. Tennessee Titans (1-10)

AFC South standings after Week 11​

The Titans were already eliminated from the division race and lost again. The Colts lost and the Jags won, so Jacksonville is just one game out of the top spot in the division. Both games between Indy and Jacksonville have yet to happen in 2025.

1. Indianapolis Colts (8-3)
2. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4)
3. Houston Texans (6-5)
4. Tennessee Titans (1-10)

Jaguars Reacts Survey: Are you confident in the direction of the team?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jaguars fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

Jaguars fans — are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?

My bad for dropping the ball last week. I have your responses to our most recent survey but I couldn’t find the time to publish them.

Your boy was witnessing the Jaguars’ horrifically beautiful victory in person, via a bachelor’s trip.

Not pictured: 15 dudes wearing custom Jaguars jerseys with “Wu’s Bachelor Party” on the name plate.

Our party’s postgame exit from the nosebleeds was surprisingly lethargic. Winning is great, especially when you’re at the stadium with your closest friends, but escaping an overtime game with a -4 turnover margin felt pretty grimy. Or maybe the stench was just a combo of too many beers and not enough showers.

What say you? Was Jacksonville’s most recent win too ugly to move you — or should we commend every win, no matter how it looked?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

(I will include your responses to last week’s survey in the responses for this one.)
