The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t play a game last week, but their chances of winning the division have gone up significantly over the last 10 days or so.
First, the Jaguars shored up their biggest weakness on defense by trading for mammoth All Pro defensive tackle Marcel Dareus. It’s a low-risk, high-reward move that could cement this defense as the best in the league.
Then, two injuries effectively ended the seasons of two division rivals – Andrew Luck was shut down for the year by the Indianapolis Colts and Deshaun Watson tore his ACL in practice.
