LARAMIE — Few teams are playing better football late in the season than Jacksonville, and a familiar name from the University of Wyoming continues to be a key piece of that surge.

The Jaguars have now won seven straight games and eight of their last nine following a 23-17 victory at Indianapolis on Sunday, putting them in position to claim the NFC South entering the final week of the regular season. Safety Andrew Wingard once again played a central role, recording five tackles and a tackle for loss.

For the season, Wingard has totaled 84 tackles, three tackles for loss, one interception, eight passes defended and one quarterback hit for the 12-4 Jaguars. Jacksonville closes the regular season against Tennessee.
