JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Whatever the records, this is big. Legitimately so.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars (9-4) will host the New York Jets (3-11) at EverBank Stadium Sunday afternoon<\/a> \u2013 and if that matchup doesn’t sound or look as dazzling as some Jaguars matchups this season, make no mistake:<\/p>\n

Dazzling doesn’t matter here. Winning does.<\/p>\n

“Where we’re at in our season, every week is really critical,” Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The Jaguars, winners of four consecutive games, lead the AFC South by a game over both the surging Houston Texans (8-5) and struggling Indianapolis Colts (8-5) \u2013 with the Texans having won 5 consecutive games and the Colts having lost 3 consecutive games.<\/p>\n

The reality of those shifting division sands is this: The Jaguars, while appearing to be peaking at the right time \u2013 and while deserving of their status as division leaders and AFC contenders<\/a> \u2013 have clinched nothing to date.<\/p>\n

“Our division’s a tight race,” Lawrence said. “It’s not like we’ve got this huge lead and can afford to mess around and lose any game. We’re taking it 1 game at a time and nothing’s bigger than this game against New York Sunday.”<\/p>\n

Make no mistake here, either: The Jets are a dangerous late-season opponent. They have a first-year Head Coach, Aaron Glenn, and teams with first-year head coaches typically play hard through season’s end. They have won 3 of the last 6 games and have scored at least 27 points in each of those 3 victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE \u2013 Whatever the records, this is big.
