Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars' #8 ranking with a 9-4 record appears justified given their strong overall performance, though the absence of "major wins" suggests they may lack signature victories against elite opponents that would elevate them higher in the power rankings. While their record matches top teams like Buffalo and San Francisco, the Jaguars likely earned their wins against a softer schedule or in less convincing fashion, which explains why they're ranked behind those similarly-record teams. The Jaguars' key strength appears to be consistency in winning games they should win, but their weakness may be an inability to elevate their play against premium competition, as evidenced by the lack of notable victories. To maintain their playoff position and potentially climb higher in the rankings, Jacksonville needs to prove they can compete with and defeat top-tier teams, while continuing to take care of business against weaker opponents to secure their strong record heading into the postseason.
