Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell didn’t need to wait until the end of the season to equal parts analyze and lament where his team’s major opportunities were squandered.
“Those three games we were ahead in the fourth quarter,” he said in a Dec. 23 interview with the Times-Union.
At Indianapolis in Week 4: The Jaguars led 13-10 but lost 16-13 in overtime. Against Houston in Week 6: The Jaguars led 14-10 but lost 31-20. And at Tennessee in Week 13: The Jaguars led 32-28, but lost 42-39.
Win those three and the Jaguars would likely be playing an AFC South title game Sunday at Houston.
