2025 Playoff Picture: A Chance to Clinch

PLAYOFF-PICTURE

JACKSONVILLE – Welcome to the Jaguars' playoff tracker.

Each week during the final weeks of the 2025 NFL regular season, we'll update where the Jaguars stand in the AFC South race and the AFC race.

The AFC South-leading Jaguars (12-4), winners of seven consecutive games and 23-17 winners over the Indianapolis Colts (8-8) this past Sunday, will play the Tennessee Titans (3-13) in the 2025 regular-season finale at EverBank Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m. The Houston Texans (11-5), the second-place team in the South, will play the Colts in Houston at the same time.

The Jaguars according to the NFL can clinch the AFC South with:

  • A victory or tie against the Titans.
  • A Texans loss or tie against the Colts.

If the teams finish tied at 12-5, the Texans would win the South because of a better divisional record than the Jaguars.

The Jaguars already have clinched a spot in the postseason and remain seeded No. 3 in the AFC, a game behind the Denver Broncos (13-3) and New England Patriots (13-3) for the AFC's top seed. The Jaguars can clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye with a victory Sunday if the Patriots lose to the Miami Dolphins (7-9) in New England and the Broncos lose to the Los Angeles Chargers (11-5) in Denver. The Patriots and Broncos both play at 4:25 p.m. Sunday.

The Jaguars will be the No. 2 seed if they win Sunday and either the Patriots or Broncos lose. They will remain the No. 3 seed with a first-round game at home if they win and the Patriots and Broncos both also win.

The No. 1 seed receives a first-round bye with a home game in the second round of the playoffs.
