In a nail-biting finish, the Jacksonville Jaguars edged the Indianapolis Colts 23-17, moving them one win away from their first AFC South title since 2022. Trevor Lawrence led the charge with two crucial scores, including a 4-yard touchdown run and a 6-yard scoring run in the third quarter. Cam Little's clutch 42-yard field goal with 6:58 left sealed the deal for the Jags. The victory marked the team's seventh consecutive win, with Liam Coen becoming the first coach in NFL history to turn a four-win team into a 12-win team in the next season. Lawrence completed 23 of 37 passes for 263 yards, but his streak of consecutive games with at least 225 yards passing, two touchdowns, and a passer rating over 100 came to an end. Meanwhile, the Colts' Philip Rivers struggled in his third game back in the league, losing to the Jags for the third time. Rivers was 16 of 28 for 135 yards, including one touchdown and one interception. The Colts have now lost six straight and seven of their last eight games, becoming the sixth team since 1970 to miss the playoffs after starting 7-1. The Jaguars will look to secure the division title with a win over the Tennessee Titans next weekend, while the Colts will travel to Houston to conclude their fifth consecutive season without a playoff berth.
