With that incredible performance, this team moved into the top six of the NFL in scoring, with an impressive 27.9 points per game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6j\">It wasn&#8217;t always this way, though. Despite having offensive guru Liam Coen at the helm as head coach, the Jaguars actually got off to a slow start on that side of the ball to begin the 2025 campaign. However, they&#8217;ve clearly reached a new level, winning eight straight games to close out the regular season, putting up a scorching 33.6 points each week in that span, which would lead the league by a healthy margin. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01ke6fdh5vt262nngw3q.jpg\" alt=\"Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL, Tennessee Titans, Trevor Lawrence\" title=\"Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL, Tennessee Titans, Trevor Lawrence\" width=\"2165\" height=\"1217\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6s\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jan 4, 2026; Jacksonville, Florida, USA; Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) throws a pass against the Tennessee Titans during the third quarter at EverBank Stadium.

The defense improved marginally overall, but it was also the primary reason the team got off to a decent start, notching a league-leading 13 takeaways in the first four games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"72\">Really, it was the offense&#8217;s ascension that took the Jaguars from a spunky squad to a legitimate Super Bowl contender. When did everything click on that side of the ball? According to quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/onsi\/jacksonville-social-media-celebrates-division-clinching-win-over-titans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trevor Lawrence<\/a>, it still hasn&#8217;t: \u201cI don&#8217;t necessarily know if it&#8217;s another level. I just think it&#8217;s even more consistency. That&#8217;s always what you&#8217;re chasing is perfection in a way. There&#8217;s always things to learn from in a game.&#8221; <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alex Smith says on NFL Countdown that there is &#8220;no question&#8221; the Jaguars have the best offense in the AFC. <\/p>\n<p>He is right. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qdb62UyUzj\">pic.twitter.com\/qdb62UyUzj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nash Henry (@NashJagsNats22) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NashJagsNats22\/status\/2007861159429276097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 4, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">&#8220;You see how we started today, started pretty slow, didn&#8217;t start great on our first series. So that&#8217;s something you can take and say, &#8216;Hey, we&#8217;ve got to start better. Can&#8217;t put our defense on the field right away.&#8217; After we took the ball, we went <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/onsi\/jacksonville-titans-week-18-live-game-thread\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3-and-out<\/a>. Then, just some plays here and there that we didn&#8217;t hit on. Whether it&#8217;s me and maybe I need to keep progressing or missed a throw, some of the run game targeting, whatever it is, there&#8217;s always room for improvement. I think that&#8217;s the great thing about our group is we haven&#8217;t ever felt like we made it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">&#8220;Even though we&#8217;ve had games where we&#8217;ve scored some points and done some good things, there&#8217;s always been that step back we take on Monday, Tuesday, and say, &#8216;Look, we&#8217;ve got to get better at this. These are things we have to improve on.&#8217; It&#8217;s not just watching all the highlights and saying, &#8216;Man, we played great. Let&#8217;s go do it again.&#8217; You&#8217;re trying to get better at all the stuff that you didn&#8217;t do right in the game. I think that&#8217;s why you&#8217;re seeing the growth over the season is because we take those little things, the mistakes, the plays that didn&#8217;t go well, and we get better from them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7i\">To see if the Jaguars reach a new level on offense in the playoffs, sign up for our 100% FREE newsletter that comes straight to your email with the latest news. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/jaguars\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SIGN UP HERE NOW.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7l\">Follow us on X (Twitter)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JaguarsOnSI\">@JaguarsOnSI\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_John_Shipley\">@_John_Shipley<\/a>\u00a0and make sure you like our Facebook page,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JaguarReport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jacksonville Jaguars didn&#8217;t just win the AFC South in Week 18; they sent a message to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":494579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,3188,723,7310,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-494578","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-fl","10":"tag-florida","11":"tag-jacksonville","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-united-states-of-america","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115843761767555012","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
