The Jaguars just rolled to a 40-23 victory against the Titans, pushing their record to an impressive 7-2. What’s wild is they didn’t even play their best game of the season, but still absolutely covered the 10.5-point spread, proving they’re a force to be reckoned with.

Trevor Lawrence Was Dealing, Even on a “Slow” Day

Trevor Lawrence, man, this dude still ended up with 352 passing yards and three touchdowns, even in what the broadcast called stretches where the Jags were “sleepwalking.” Seriously? That’s their sleepwalking? It’s nuts. They kicked things off with a bang too, with Lawrence hitting Parker Washington in the end zone on the very first possession. For a minute, it looked like this was going to be a total blowout, a cakewalk for Jacksonville.

Titans Fought, But Couldn’t Hold On

To their credit, the Titans didn’t just roll over. Cam Ward made some plays, both running and passing, keeping them in it. And Tony Pollard, he turned a short pass into a 32-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. They kept it a one-score game for a lot of the day. But let’s be real, few opponents have managed to hold this Jaguars team in check for all 60 minutes, and the Titans just couldn’t do it either.

This win shoots the Jaguars right into a run for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. Meanwhile, the Titans, after this loss dropping them to a dismal 1-8, look like they are squarely on a run for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft. What a contrast.
