The Jacksonville Jaguars came away with a huge win in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts.
With the dust having settled on Sunday’s game, let’s take a look at three things we learned from the Jaguars‘ performance.
Jaguars control their path to AFC South title
With Sunday’s win over the Colts, the Jaguars improved to 9-4 on the season and have won four consecutive games. Jacksonville now holds the AFC South lead by themselves.
Along with having a better record than the Colts, the Jaguars have the better division record and hold the head-to-head tie-breaker at the moment.

Offense is creating chunk plays
For the second week in a row, the Jaguars’ passing game found success pushing the ball downfield. Trevor Lawrence averaged over 8.0 yards per pass attempt, with Brian Thomas Jr. hauling in a 39-yard catch and Tim Patrick with 37-yard and 26-yard receptions.
Travis Etienne also had a 28-yard run in this game. The offense had its ups and downs this season, but is hitting its stride in recent weeks.
Still too many penalties
Credit to this Jaguars’ team for being able to overcome the penalties they inflict on themselves more often than not, but this continues to be an issue. The Jaguars entered this game as the most heavily penalized team in football with over eight penalties per game and they were penalized eight times in this game for 64 yards.
Penalties end drives for an offense and extend drives for an opponent. Come January, a heavily penalized game can end a season.
