Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars' #14 ranking appears justified given their 4-3 record and lack of signature wins against quality opponents, placing them in the middle tier of NFL teams. While their record shows they're competitive, the absence of notable victories suggests they've primarily beaten weaker teams or struggled in close games against better competition, especially when compared to similarly-ranked teams like Denver (5-2) and Pittsburgh (4-2) who have better records. The Jaguars likely possess enough talent to stay competitive in most games but may lack the consistency or clutch performance needed to beat playoff-caliber teams, which is reflected in their mediocre ranking score of 17.481. To improve their playoff positioning, Jacksonville needs to start defeating quality opponents and demonstrate they can win the games that matter most, rather than just maintaining a .500-level record against an easier portion of their schedule.
