Overview
- Both teams are 8-4, and the winner will hold sole first place in the division with four games remaining.
- Jacksonville has beaten Indianapolis in 10 straight home games, a run that includes the 2021 Week 18 upset that cost the Colts a playoff berth.
- Indianapolis’ scoring and efficiency have dipped since Week 9 after a hot start, with pressure and heavier boxes limiting the offense.
- Quarterback Daniel Jones is playing through a lower-leg issue that reports say has reduced his mobility, while talk of a “broken fibula” appears only in pundit commentary.
- Analysts highlight Jacksonville’s top-ranked run defense, an improving pass rush, and Jakobi Meyers’ quick impact, and many public predictions lean Jaguars despite the line.
