5 takeaways from Jags’ 2021 schedule

The Jags’ 2021 schedule is out and it looks like this season could get rather interesting for the Jags.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ schedule has been released, and while it’s one that fans wish came with more spotlight opportunities, there are still some interesting elements to it. As previously mentioned, it ranked 18th from a strength of schedule perspective, which isn’t too bad, especially for a team that’s coming off a one-win season.

The Jags made some major changes within the organization this offseason and many of them make this season one of the most intriguing in a long time. However, the Jags’ 2021 schedule will not only come with the grind of winning on the field for those new faces but the grind of traveling to various locations — even one in another country.

That said, here are five takeaways from the Jags’ 17-game regular-season schedule:

Jaguars, NFL schedules to be released on May 12

Fans of the Jacksonville Jaguars won’t have to wait long after the draft to find out the order of the team’s schedule. In fact, it was announced that the date on which schedules will be released is on Wednesday, May 12 at 8 p.m. eastern standard time.

It’s been long known that the Jags would face off against the teams from the NFC West and AFC East divisions in 2021, but the league’s May 12 release date will provide Jags fans with the specific order of each opponent. The Jags also were placed in a matchup with the team in the AFC North who had the same corresponding ranking (fourth place) like them, which was the Cincinnati Bengals.

Lastly, the league added a 17th game to the schedules of all 32 teams as a result of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which added the fourth-place team from the NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons, to the Jags’ schedule.

Each team will at least have one primetime game on their schedule by league rule. However, with the Jags set to draft Trevor Lawrence soon, some fans are holding out hopes for at least one more. The Jags will also have an early morning game if they travel to the United Kingdom, but with the coronavirus pandemic causing traveling restrictions, it’s unknown whether the Jags will be allowed to play at Wembley in 2021.
