In Week 14, they notched their fourth win in a row by blowing out the Indianapolis Colts at home, 36-19. That victory gave them sole possession of the one seed in the AFC South and will guarantee that they at least split the season series with Indy. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6v\">Jacksonville is likely just a couple of games away from guaranteeing itself a postseason bid. While this team will want to ensure that it doesn&#8217;t get too far ahead of itself, it&#8217;s high time that Head Coach Liam Coen and his players start gearing themselves up for a playoff run. Thankfully, they took a big step forward in that regard in Week 14. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/01kbxz1r2h049r3j6nzd.jpg\" alt=\"Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL, Indianapolis Colts, Trevor Lawrence\" title=\"Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL, Indianapolis Colts, Trevor Lawrence\" width=\"2269\" height=\"1276\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"74\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dec 7, 2025; Jacksonville, Florida, USA;  Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) throws downfield against the Indianapolis Colts during the second half at EverBank Stadium.

However, the bulk of the credit has to go to their captain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/onsi\/jacksonville-duval-delights-divisional-domination-of-colts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a>. After a season full of scrutiny and criticism, T-Law has led his Jaguars to their third winning campaign in five seasons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">He might not be perfect, but he&#8217;s the most talented gunslinger this franchise has had in a long time, if not ever. Now, he&#8217;s starting to find the consistency that he&#8217;s lacked in his young career. And the best part of all is that he&#8217;s been able to do it without losing his audacity and his explosiveness. In Week 14, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/onsi\/jacksonville-vs-colts-week-14-live-game-thread\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he hit on four of his six attempts<\/a> of 20 air yards or more, totaling 132 yards in the process.

We&#8217;ve been pretty diligent about every Wednesday in our Mamba going and throwing the ball. Let&#8217;s throw the go ball. Let&#8217;s keep throwing it down the field a little bit. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">Again, this Thursday, we tried to do the same thing with him and [Brian Thomas Jr.] again on the first play, in Mamba again. We&#8217;ve tried. We&#8217;ve worked at it. Credit these guys for sticking with it and continuing to have confidence in each other to go make plays. So, I think that us being able to run it may have helped in some of those, but really, a few of those were just those guys going out and making huge plays.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7u\">Reestablishing the deep passing game between Lawrence, BTJ, and the rest of the Jaguars&#8217; weapons will be crucial for this team in their playoff push and their run in the postseason. If that part of the offense is clicking, there&#8217;s no ceiling on what Jacksonville can do on the attack under Liam Coen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7x\">To see how Trevor Lawrence continues his development under Liam Coen, sign up for our 100% FREE newsletter that comes straight to your email with the latest news. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SIGN UP HERE NOW.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">Follow us on X (Twitter)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JaguarsOnSI\" rel=\"nofollow\">@JaguarsOnSI\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_John_Shipley\" rel=\"nofollow\">@_John_Shipley<\/a>\u00a0and make sure you like our Facebook page,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JaguarReport\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jacksonville Jaguars just keep rolling.
