As weeks pass, the Jacksonville Jaguars are gaining respect, and yet, they deserve more of it. They’re a win away from claiming the AFC South title after a 4-13 campaign last year.

Offensive-minded head coach Liam Coen has Trevor Lawrence playing his best football. In Week 17, Lawrence threw his first interception in five games, but he led Jacksonville to a victory with two rushing scores.

Also, the Jaguars defense has tightened up over the past month, allowing fewer than 21 points in five consecutive outings.
