The New Orleans Saints are set to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in their first Thursday Night Football game of the season on October 19th. Today, we’re going to look at how the Saints matchup with the defending AFC South champions.
The Jaguars are coming off their first playoff win since the team nicknamed “Sacksonville” went to the AFC Championship in 2017. From 2018-2021, the Jags finished fourth in the AFC South every season before taking the crown in 2022.
In 2021, Jacksonville found their franchise QB, selecting Trevor Lawrence with the first overall pick in the draft.
