This week, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on the road to face off against the Tennessee Titans (fuck ‘em). The two teams have played each other 61 times, and the Titans lead the series 35-26. Let’s all hope the Jaguars gift themselves a win for their birthday, as we look at the good, the bad, and the ugly with the Titans.
The good
Week 18 at TIAA Bank Field on January 7, 2023
Final Score: Titans 16 – Jaguars 20
Attendance: 70,050
Admittedly, this was not the Jaguars’ biggest numerical win against the Titans, but I chose this one because it is on my list of favorite games that I’ve attended and my first season with Big Cat Country. The Jaguars had 13 first downs, 222 total yards, and 23:48 time of possession, compared to Tennessee’s 19 first downs, 312 total yards, and 36:12 time of possession. A pass from Trevor Lawrence to Christian Kirk, and a strip sack caused by Rayshawn Jenkins picked up by Josh Hines-Allen recovering the fumble resulted in touchdowns. Trevor Lawrence completed 20 out of 32 attempted passes for 212 yards and was sacked once for a loss of nine yards. Travis Etienne led the team with 17 rushing yards, and Christian Kirk led the team with 99 receiving yards. Riley Patterson made both field goal attempts. Tyson Campbell had an interception. Foyesade Oluokun, Rayshawn Jenkins, Roy Robertson-Harris, Adam Gotsis, and Corey Peters sacked Josh Dobbs. Oluokun led the team with 13 combined tackles.
The bad

Jacksonville recorded 16 first downs, 237 total yards, and 21:30 time of possession, compared to Tennessee’s 26 first downs, 476 total yards, and 38:30 time of possession.

The ugly

Another reason to dislike the Urban Meyer experiment, the only time the franchise was shut out by the Titans.
