Jaguars earn 2 spots on NFL.com’s Top 10 games of 2023 season

Two games, in particular, on the Jaguars’ 2023 schedule are set to draw a lot of eyes.

There’s plenty of buzz surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars after the team earned the AFC South title and a playoff victory in January. So much so that NFL.com thinks two Jaguars games are among the most exciting on the docket in 2023.

On a list of the top 10 games to look forward to in the upcoming season, Jacksonville landed seventh and ninth for their matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills.

The Jaguars’ 2023 road game against the Bills was the higher of the two on the list at No. 7:

Can Jacksonville take the next step in 2023? This meeting with Buffalo provides an excellent opportunity to answer this question affirmatively. Much of the Jaguars’ success stemmed from Trevor Lawrence’s improvement in his second NFL season, with his development getting back on track under new coach Doug Pederson. Lawrence powered the team to a collection of late wins that helped secure a playoff berth. Can he get off to a similarly hot start? How will he measure up in this battle between two of the brightest, young quarterback talents in the league?

The Jaguars have developed an interesting history with the Bills in recent years, despite not being in the same division. Jacksonville beat Buffalo in the playoffs in January 2018, but the Bills got revenge 10 months later when rookie Josh Allen led his team to a win.

Then somehow in 2021, one of only three wins for the Jaguars came in a 9-6 win against the Bills, who went on to finish the season 11-6.

The full schedule for the 2023 NFL season is expected to be released next week.
