The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-1 after defeating the Houston Texans in a gritty, hard-fought win that proved Jacksonville is still a team that should be taken seriously in the AFC South. While there are still improvements that need to be made, the team is slowly getting better each week, giving fans hope that they could end up as playoff contenders this year.
One area that has specifically come a long way is the defense. In 2024 under Ryan Nielsen, the Jaguars had one of the worst defenses in the league. He, along with pretty much everyone else on staff, was fired, and Anthony Campanile was brought in to turn things around.
