The Jacksonville Jaguars are going into Week 9 a half game back of the AFC South divisional lead, despite forfeiting multiple games and obtaining a 2-5 record. With a bye week of rest and a favorable outcome from the Indianapolis Colts' loss to the Carolina Panthers, the Jaguars can begin a push for the divisional title.
It doesn't make much sense that a 2-5 team like the Jaguars are very much in the running for the divisional title, but the AFC South hasn't made much sense in general this season. The Jaguars have showed the ability to compete and win this season, all that's required is to take the next step.
