The good, the bad, and the ugly from the Jaguars’ 38-20 win vs. Colts

The Jags ended the season with a victory, but it feels like one that came much too late.

The Jacksonville Jaguars ended their season with a huge victory over the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 38-20 Sunday.

The Jaguars avenged an earlier loss from the Colts back in Week 12 where they were embarrassed by a score of 33-13. Sunday would provide a different story as the Jaguars would go on to set a season-high in points in their win against their division rivals.

It was a complete improvement from their Week 12 matchup where Brissett finished with 15-of-24 passing yards with 148 yards and a touchdown.

The Jaguars played almost perfect ball on the defensive side except:
