By all means, Jaguars fans, proceed to get ahead of yourselves. You can actually dream about the real possibility of waking up on Christmas morning and being alive in the AFC South race, maybe even a win against the Houston Texans away on Jan. 3 from clinching the division.
That’s now a legitimate scenario, so enjoy the franchise’s first ray of November sunshine in five years. Take the gift and run with it.
Jaguars players and coaches have been through enough hell, so there’s no need to apologize for being a division contender at 2-5. Let them have some hope, even if it’s only happening because the AFC South is a train wreck.
