The Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> have reached a new high point in ESPN’s<\/a> Week 17 NFL power rankings.<\/p>\n

After coming in at No. 6 a week ago, the Jaguars<\/a> are now No. 5 after their latest road victory over the Denver Broncos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The four teams ahead of the Jaguars are Seattle, the LA Rams<\/a>, New England, and Denver.<\/p>\n

Having won six games in a row, the Jaguars are 11-4 on the season. They hold a one-game lead over the 10-5 Houston Texans<\/a> in the AFC South and could potentially clinch<\/a> the division title this week.<\/p>\n

In the overall AFC playoff picture, the Jaguars are the three seed and remain very much in the mix for the conference’s No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n

Over the last month in particular, Trevor Lawrence has been playing his best football. This includes ranking fifth among all quarterbacks in passing yards, second in yards per pass attempt, and first in passing touchdowns, per PFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The defense continues to generate takeaways at an extremely high rate, including 10 in the last three games alone.<\/p>\n

Next up for the Jaguars are the 8-7 Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, who have lost five games in a row. The Colts are No. 15 in ESPN’s rankings.<\/p>\n
