NASHVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars are showing how quickly an NFL franchise can turn around in a coach’s first season.

That might give the Tennessee Titans hope for 2026, but it did nothing for them Sunday at Nissan Stadium.

Trevor Lawrence threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns as the Jaguars beat Tennessee 25-3 for their third straight victory. Jacksonville improved to 8-4 overall this season, while the Titans fell to 1-11 and were mathematically eliminated from contention for a playoff berth.

The Jaguars also beat the Titans for the third straight meeting and the sixth time in the past seven between the AFC South Division rivals.

Jacksonville missed the past two postseasons — at 9-8 in 2023 and 4-13 in 2024 over the final two of Doug Pederson’s three years as head coach after winning the division in his first — but now the Jaguars have moved into first place in the AFC South. They’re tied with the Indianapolis Colts, whose 20-16 home loss Sunday to the Houston Texans was their third defeat in the past four games.
