Overview
- Jacksonville improved to 3-1 after a road win over the Cincinnati Bengals and has allowed just 53 points through four games while posting a league-best plus-6 turnover margin.
- CBS Sports and ESPN analysts have elevated the Jaguars into conversations with the NFL’s elite, calling them among the most complete teams and the possible class of the AFC.
- Coach Liam Coen credited continuity under coordinator Anthony Campanile and 10 returning defensive starters for a takeaway-driven identity that has flipped field position and limited opponents’ scoring.
- Discipline and pass rush are clear shortfalls: the team was penalized 13 times for 125 yards against Cincinnati and has generated fewer sacks than hoped from its primary edge rushers.
- The current surge builds on a 12-2 run since last season’s Week 9 bye and now faces an early litmus test with consecutive London 'home' games against Philadelphia and Houston that will shape Jacksonville’s postseason credibility.
