The Tennessee Titans (7-5) are set to host the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) in an AFC South showdown between two teams that don’t like each other very much.
Tennessee enters this game extremely banged up, already ruling six players out, with another three in question for Sunday’s divisional matchup.
That total doesn’t include the 16 different players that are presently on the injured reserve list, although wide receiver Racey McMath and defensive back Josh Thompson could both be activated on Saturday.
As for the Jaguars, they aren’t nearly as beaten and battered entering this contest, but they do have some uncertainty surrounding the availability of their young franchise quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.
The Clemson legend is expected to play in this one, but anything is possible until he’s officially ruled out.
Regardless of all this, there are several key matchups that are going to play a large role in determining the outcome of this one. Let’s dive right into the three most significant one that will likely have a large impact on Sunday’s game.
