Just two weeks into the NFL season the Jacksonville Jaguars have found themselves in a predicament where they could be in first place in the AFC South. Simply put, a win against the Tennessee Titans Sunday would do that, but with their last victory in Tennessee coming in 2013, the Jags will have some history to overcome.
Just as it was last week, the Jags’ game will be shown on CBS in the 1 p.m. window for Sept. 19’s lineup of games. Per 506 Sports, those who live in the green shaded areas will be able to see the game.
This week, Andrew Catalon will serve as the play-by-play analyst while James Lofton will serve as the color commentator.
The Jags will enter Sunday’s game with a 21-30 all-time record against the Titans and a 9-16 record against them at Nissan Stadium. However, if there is one part of history they can look at positively, it’s the fact that Gardner Minshew II is 1-0 against Tennessee.
Minshew started in the Jags’ Week 2 meeting against the Titans in 2019 and had an impressive night against them to kick off the movement known as Minshew Mania. He completed 20-of-30 passes for 204 passing yards and two touchdowns that night.
In addition to Minshew needing to have a good game, the Jags’ defense will need to tighten up against the run as running back Derrick Henry has been a huge issue for them. If they can make both keys to victory happen, then they have a solid chance to end up 2-0 heading into their primetime matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
