Jacksonville is coming off a disappointing loss to one of the worst teams in the AFC in the Houston Texans, who won 30-16 on Sunday to sweep the Jags for the season. They now sit at just 2-12, and with coach Urban Meyer already being fired, this team is just trying to limp its way to the finish line.
But there are three more games before it can get there, and the first is a road matchup against another AFC cellar-dweller in the New York Jets, who sit at 3-11. The Jets finished just one game better than the Jaguars last season, and they’re on a similar pace again this time around.
A win may not do Jacksonville a lot of favors, as the team currently sits in position to pick first overall once again, but this is a squad still trying to find any positive momentum to build off heading into the offseason.
With that in mind, here are three things to know about the matchup against New York at MetLife Stadium.
