Senior writer John Oehser examines Head Coach Doug Pederson's press conference following the Jaguars' 40-34 overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys in a ...

I really don't think you win games like this if you weren't a close group, if you didn't have the right leadership in the locker room, if you didn't practice the way we practice. I think it's just a matter of the guys just kind of trusting in themselves and gaining confidence as the game goes on." Even going back to training camp, the way we practiced and the way we did things back then … "We felt like we had to try to run the ball today," Pederson said. The way they practice, and they practice hard, they just keep believing in themselves … Pederson added, "The guys are starting to believe in themselves, too, and that's important down the stretch." It's just a matter of those guys in that dressing room believing in themselves and getting the job done." Pederson on Sunday: "It's a special team in the sense that I'm seeing this group starting to come together, playing that complementary style of football. This win today, I think, kind of just gives our guys confidence in who they (the Jaguars) are as a team." So, we felt like we had to give the run game a serious consideration today. The Titans, who lost 17-14 to the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, have lost four consecutive games and play host to the Houston Texans (1-12-1) and Dallas (10-4) before the finale. Very much in it.Sunday's victory moved the Jaguars (6-8) to within a game of the AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans (7-7) with three games remaining.

Trevor Lawrence has carried the Jaguars to big wins and the Tennessee Titans are falling apart. Can the Jags make a miracle postseason run?

Each team has a game remaining against the Houston Texans this year, which we can probably pencil in as a win despite the 1-12-1 Texans’ efforts in taking the Chiefs to overtime in Week 15. This all builds to a Week 18 showdown that will decide the fate of the AFC South if these teams remain a game between each other in the standings. Instead, it’s stumbled comically and allowed Jacksonville the latitude to catch up. The Titans had a 97 percent chance of winning their division as of Thanksgiving. In Week 2, the Jaguars lost out on a chance to upset the Philadelphia Eagles thanks to four Trevor Lawrence fumbles. A shaky offense has been unable to sync its running and passing games; Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill rarely have good performances on the same day. Jaguars fans can feel confident this team is trending upward and that if this winter it’s the time for a postseason breakthrough, next season will be. A team that was 2-6 and staring into the void of another lost season has reclaimed the potential shown in a 38-10 trouncing of the Los Angeles Chargers early in the season. However, that unit also gave up nearly 400 total yards and allowed the Cowboys to convert more than 50 percent of their third downs. With three weeks to play in the 2022 NFL season, those postseason and division title odds have risen to 44 and 43 percent, respectively. After his fumble, the Jags defense held Dallas to a vital three-and-out. More importantly, it was the Jaguars’ best win of 2022 — a rally from a 27-10 third quarter deficit against a 10-3 team that saw Trevor Lawrence play like an absolute stud and his defense rise up when it mattered most.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' pathway to an AFC South title is pretty simple: finish the season sweep of the Tennessee Titans with a win in Week 18 and take ...

You need a team effort to win football games and that's precisely how the Jacksonville Jaguars were able to beat the Dallas Cowboys 40-34 in overtime.

For the season, he’s scored five touchdowns, two shy of the career high he set for the Buffalo Bills in 2018. However, he didn’t let it get into his head and instead went on to make several plays for the Jaguars. But just as Doug Pederson predicted, Jones has bounced back, catching 14 passes for 186 yards and a jaw-dropping four touchdowns in the last two games. With that in mind, here are five players that made the comeback possible.

[particularly great for the Jags in 2021](https://blackandteal.com/2022/01/18/jaguars-s-rayshawn-jenkins-contract/) but he’s become a playmaker in the secondary this season.

The atmosphere inside TIAA Bank Field for the Jacksonville Jaguars' home game against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday afternoon was electric.

[Ryan Tannehill](https://sportsnaut.com/player/ryan-tannehill/) is a shell of his former self. They have games against struggling squads in that of the New York Jets and Houston Texans before what could be a win-or-go-home regular-season home finale against the Titans. Two young quarterbacks going at it with a trip to the divisional playoffs on the line. [Tennessee has lost four consecutive games](https://sportsnaut.com/tennessee-titans-schedule-predictions/). One game ahead of Jacksonville for the top spot in the AFC, Tennessee would currently host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wild Card round. That has all of the looks of an all-time stinker. It’s not a coincidence that the Jaguars find themselves at 4-5 during this nine-game span with four wins in their past six outings. If the Jags win out, they’ll win the division and host a wild card game in the playoffs. Since then, Lawrence has flipped the script in a big way. Through the first 22 games of his NFL career, That was once again the case in Duval with a ton of ‘Boys fans showing up for this surprisingly big mid-December game. He led Jacksonville on three consecutive touchdown-scoring drives to take the lead.

Sportsbooks see the Thursday Night clash between the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars being a close matchup.

Cam Robinson suffered a torn meniscus in the Jags’ win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and he will miss the remainder of the season. [Denzel Mims](https://jetsxfactor.com/tag/denzel-mims/) (concussion) is doubtful while [Zonovan Knight](https://jetsxfactor.com/tag/zonovan-knight/) is likely to play but questionable with an ankle injury. However, both offenses have produced in the rain this season and I expect that to continue Thursday night. This is a playoff game for both teams. Jacksonville has won three of the last four and has put themselves in striking distance to capture the AFC South. The Jets have lost four of their last five games and are outside looking in on the playoff picture.

The former Alabama All-American got hurt in Sunday's overtime victory against the Dallas Cowboys.

After the 2020 season, the Jaguars used their franchise tag on Robinson to keep him out of free agency. He started the final 14 games at left tackle as Jacksonville posted a 6-10 record in 2019. After winning three games in 2016, the Jaguars reached the AFC Championship Game in 2017 with the NFL’s No. The Jaguars used three more starters at left tackle that season and completed 2018 with a 5-11 record. As a rookie, Robinson started every game at left tackle for the Jaguars except the regular-season finale, which he sat out as Jacksonville prepared for its first playoff appearance since 2007. The Jaguars defeated the Titans 36-22 in their first meeting this season on Dec. After winning two of their first eight games, the Jaguars have won four of their past six. They didn’t get a long-term contract extension worked out with him, so after Robinson played the 2021 season on the franchise-tag salary of $13.754 million, Jacksonville used its franchise tag on him again in March. Tennessee has home games against the Texans and Dallas Cowboys before coming to Jacksonville. Jacksonville will go forward with Little filling in for Robinson at left tackle, Pederson said. 1, the Jaguars visit the one-win Houston Texans, and they close the regular season at home against the Titans. On Jan.

The Jaguars' veteran leader at left tackle will miss the rest of the 2022 season.

Robinson was on pace to have a career season in 2022, allowing fewer pressures per game than in any other of his seasons in the NFL. The deal was first reported on the eve of the NFL Draft by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Robinson exited the second-half of Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury.
