JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jacksonville’s worst season in team history could become even more dreadful Saturday.

The Jaguars (2-12) have a chance to reach another low by failing to win a single home game for the first time in the franchise’s 22 years. They need to upset AFC South rival Tennessee (8-6) to avoid the miserable mark.

“The fact that we don’t have one at this point in the season, you just shake your head because it shouldn’t be that way,” veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny said.

Jacksonville is 0-6 at EverBank Field in 2016 and has gone more than a year since winning at home. The Jags have dropped seven in a row since beating Indianapolis 51-16 on Dec. 13, 2015. Although they technically have a home victory against the Colts in London in October, players and coaches realize that doesn’t really count.

So Jacksonville’s home finale has something at stake for a team that has lost nine consecutive games and is coping with the firing of popular coach Gus Bradley .
