JACKSONVILLE – The off-field stuff is in the rear view.
The important stuff – which is the next stuff – is at hand for the AFC South-leading Jaguars as they seek to extend a two-game winning streak Sunday in an important midseason division road game.
And while the focus for the Jaguars early in the week was a series of defense-bolstering moves ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, the focus Sunday will be on navigating a rivalry game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.
The records favor the 6-2 Jaguars, who have won four of five games and who lead the AFC South by three games. The Titans enter Sunday 1-7 searching for an identity under first-year Head Coach Robert Salah.
The Jaguars are hot, winning their past two games against the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens by a cumulative 75-17. The Titans played well in recent weeks, losing close games to the contending Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns since their lone victory of the season – 26-20 over the Colts on October 18.
A Distinguished Destination
From pandemics to addressing population health, we relentlessly pursue solving the mysteries of both incurable and treatable diseases, knowing that one discovery leads to the next.
Here are 10 things the Jaguars must do to beat the Titans Sunday:
- Run. This is, has been and always will be No. 1 for the Jaguars under Head Coach Liam Coen. The Jaguars have trended positively here much of the season, with running backs Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. transforming a big-play-oriented running offense in 2025 to a physical, consistent running offense this season.
- Stop the run. Two of this week's acquisitions – defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles and acquiring Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints – were in part to ensure this remained the Jaguars' defensive "superpower" in the wake of a season-ending injury to nose tackle DaVon Hamilton. That's a must for this team to remain one of the NFL's best and Sunday's matchup against Titans running back Tony Pollard is critical. Davis won't play Sunday, but Godchaux will.
- Be physical. When the Jaguars are the more physical team under Coen, they usually are the better team and they usually win. That more than anything else is this team's identity.
- Take the ball away. The third of this week's acquisitions – safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons – was in large part ensuring this remained the defense's other "superpower." That's long-term because Bates – like Davis – won't play Sunday. Even without Bates, this is a priority Sunday for a Jaguars team that is third in the NFL in takeaways. The Titans are playing with confidence. Forcing them into turnovers is the best way to taking that confidence away.
- Let Lawrence be Lawrence. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has played as well as any quarterback in the NFL through eight games. He's consistent, confident and making remarkable throws at critical times. This is a megatalent working toward a megalevel.
- Feed the tight ends. The emergence of rookie tight end Nate Boerkircher along with the continued production of veteran tight end Brenton Strange has given the Jaguars one of the NFL's better young tandems at this position. This area is become a reliable strength for the Jaguars and they must continue to get production from this pair.
- Grind if necessary. The Titans' recent performances mean more than their record. They remain a team playing with purpose and motivation in Saleh's first season. Such belief makes a team dangerous, particularly early in a head coach's tenure. The Jaguars must expect a close game late and play with the patience/persistence they did when pulling steadily away from the Ravens in their last game.
- Pressure and contain. Titans quarterback Cam Ward has been inconsistent at times and is still maturing. But he had his best game of the season in the Titans' last game – an overtime loss to the Bengals – and has the mobility and arm talent to keep the Titans in a high-scoring game. The Jaguars must pressure him into mistakes while limiting escape paths.
- Hit some big ones. The Titans have been vulnerable to explosive plays at times this season. They also have recently traded two of their best defensive players – defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears and safety Amani Hooker to the Buffalo Bills. The run is critical for the Jaguars' offense, but explosives could matter Sunday.
- Play to their standard. The Jaguars have been remarkably consistent in this area under Coen, with the result being an NFL-high four victories by 20 or more points this season. The Jaguars are better than the Titans. They must focus and play like it Sunday.
