Jaguars look to match best six-game start in team history
As the Jaguars prepare to play their second straight game in London, they have an opportunity to do something they haven't done in 27 years — start the year 5-1.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are poised to embark on their best six-game start in franchise history as they prepare for their upcoming match in London. This feat, which they haven't accomplished since 1999, would mark a significant resurgence for the team.
The last time the Jaguars achieved a 5-1 start was back in 1999, when they went on to complete a perfect season, ending with a 14-2 record. However, their success was short-lived as they were defeated in the AFC Championship game by the Titans.
In the current season, Jacksonville finds itself in an advantageous position within the division. Their upcoming match against the Houston Texans presents a significant challenge, given the Texans' strong performance against the Jaguars in recent years. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has been instrumental in these encounters, maintains a 3-7 record against the Texans, throwing eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions in those games.
No player since Lawrence's rookie season has thrown more interceptions against a single opponent. On the other hand, the Texans have fortified their position with a 15-5 record in division games since the arrival of head coach DeMeco Ryans. Under Ryans' guidance, quarterback C.J. Stroud has excelled with a 12-5 record, contributing 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions in those games.
