The Jaguars look like one of the NFL’s elite teams, and the best is yet to come

The Jacksonville Jaguars have emerged as one of the NFL's elite teams, with their best yet to come. After a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Thursday night's game, the Jaguars are now 6-2 on the season, four games clear of the Texans and Colts in the AFC South. This win, along with a 42-7 win over the Colts earlier in the season, has put the Jaguars on a path to a division title and a strong playoff run.

The Jaguars' offense, led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, is among the league's best, with Lawrence ranking among the top passers in completion percentage, yards, touchdowns, and passer rating. Additionally, the Jaguars have the league's easiest remaining schedule, allowing them to focus on maintaining their lead. Their defense, under coach Brian Flores, is second in scoring defense, allowing just 15.1 points per game.

Quarterback Liam Coen has led the team to a 19-6 record since taking over in Jacksonville, with a .750 winning percentage since the bye week last year.
