JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars on Friday practiced at the Miller Electric Center.

The Jaguars (10-4) will play the Denver Broncos (12-2) at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Col., Sunday in a 2025 Week 16 game. A look at Friday around the Jaguars – with Head Coach Liam Coen speaking to the media for the final time before Sunday:

Coen on Friday discussed keys to the biggest game of the season to date, with balancing playing with emotion and playing smart foremost among them.

"We're trying to be as disciplined as humanly possible," Coen said.

The AFC South-leading Jaguars can move to within a game of Denver for the AFC's top seed with a victory. The Broncos can clinch the West with a victory. The Jaguars with a loss will be in second place in the South if the Houston Texans (9-5) beat the Las Vegas Raiders (2-12) in Houston Sunday.

The Jaguars and Broncos enter Sunday as the NFL's two most-penalized teams.

"I want our guys playing on the edge – I talk about that a lot – but playing in this type of game, with the crowd noise, on the road … maturity and discipline is going to win this football game in a lot of ways for us."

Sunday is big. But as defensive end Josh Hines-Allen sees it, perspective is paramount.

"The expectation for us is to win every game," Hines-Allen said. "Implications, whatever … at the end of the day, this is a playoff team. We're a playoff team and this is a team we may see now, again … whatever. For us, it's 'Continue to do what we do.'

"If we can play to our standard, we'll play to our standard and we'll be the best version of ourselves we can be."

Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers called Sunday's game "huge."

"Everyone wants this one bad," he said. "We're going to go try to put our best foot forward and let the ball fall. We're all excited for this opportunity."

Among Sunday's key matchups: A Jaguars offense that has allowed 32 sacks this season – tied for 15th in the NFL – against a Broncos pass rush that leads the NFL with 58 sacks, 14 shy of the NFL record for team sacks in a season of 72 set by the Chicago Bears in 1984.

Coen called it "a great challenge for our guys."

"We continue to rise to those challenges and those guys up front take it personally," Coen said.

Coen on Friday also discussed Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II, the 2024 Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year. Coen said what makes Surtain special is a "combination of physical traits along with his "obvious pattern recognition and concept recognition."

"His ability to catch up if he does get edged and the length to finish is definitely something that stands out … and his competitiveness, he'll come up and crack a place on a tackle on a duo." Coen said. "That's what definitely makes him a little bit more of that all-purpose, can-do-it-all corner." …

Surtain has 12 career interceptions, and registered his first interception this season in a victory over the Green Bay Packers this past Sunday.

The Jaguars on Friday issued their third and final injury report of the week, with rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) and rookie defensive end Danny Striggow (ankle) ruled out for Sunday.

Both players sustained injuries in a 48-20 victory over the New York Jets this past Sunday.

Five players were listed without game status, meaning they are expected to be available Sunday: Starting guard Ezra Cleveland (shoulder), left tackle Walker Little (concussion), starting defensive tackle Arik Armstead (hand) and starting defensive end Josh Hines-Allen (shoulder/illness).

Rookie linebacker Jalen McLeod (ankle), who had his 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened this week, also was ruled out Friday.
