4 things to know about Jags season finale vs. Colts

Sunday’s game could be the last for Doug Marrone as Shad Khan could be making changes to his staff for the Jags’ terrible season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ season will be coming to a close this Sunday as the team will host their division rivals: the Indianapolis Colts. With the playoffs not being a possibility, Jags fans could still view Sunday’s game as a win-win because if they lose, the team will get better draft positioning, and if they win, they will get some payback for the embarrassing loss the Colts handed them Week 11.

All of that in mind, here are four things to know about Sunday’s AFC South showdown:

Both teams are eliminated from the postseason, but the game has playoff implications

The Jags and Colts both won’t be going to the postseason, but their game could have playoff implications, which is why the NFL moved it 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. However, if the Titans simply win Sunday against the Houston Texans, there will be no need to look into the implications behind the Colts’ and Jags’ game because that would put Tennessee in the playoffs.

However, if the Titans lose, they could see a scenario where they would need the Jags’ help (a.k.a. a Colts loss). The Steelers and Oakland Raiders also could see scenarios where they would need help from either Indy or the Jags on Sunday, too.
