Following the conclusion of Week 17 of the NFL season, where do the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> now sit in the updated playoff standings<\/a>?<\/p>\n

With Sunday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts, the Jaguars<\/a> improved to 12-4 on the year and have won seven consecutive games.<\/p>\n

In the AFC playoff picture, the Jaguars remain the three seed, one game back of the 13-3 Denver Broncos<\/a> — who are the No. 1 seed — and the 13-3 New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville remains in the mix for the conference’s top seed, and they need these three things<\/a> to happen in Week 18 to secure that spot.<\/p>\n

Along with pushing for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, the Jaguars can still secure the AFC South title in Week 18 as well.<\/p>\n

To do that, Jacksonville either needs to defeat Tennessee or have Houston lose to Indianapolis. The Jaguars have a one-game lead over the 11-5 Texans<\/a>.<\/p>\n
