The Jacksonville Jaguars keep winning but they can’t move up in the AFC standings. The Kansas City Chiefs won on Sunday to leap from fifth into second, bypassing the Denver Broncos in the AFC West. Kansas City’s record in the AFC is 6-1, slightly better than the Jaguars at 6-2, so the Chiefs are the two seed right now.
If the Pittsburgh Steelers win on Sunday night, they will join the cluster at 7-2 but their AFC record would only be 4-2 and still behind Jacksonville. If the Cincinnati Bengals win on Sunday night, they will join the cluster at 7-2 but their AFC record will be 5-3
and still behind Jacksonville. The Jaguars are locked into the third slot.
In the AFC South, the Jaguars got help from a Houston Texans loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Jags have a stranglehold on the division now up four games.
