With meaningful football still being played in December, the Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15.

The Jaguars are coming off a franchise-high scoring performance in a win over the Indianapolis Colts and are hoping to produce the team's second multiple-game winning streak of the season. Jacksonville seems to be ascending, especially on offense, and the Falcons will have their work cut out for them on Sunday.

The Falcons have free fallen after starting out hot this season. Atlanta has lost six-straight games and seven of its last eight contests after starting 5-0. They'll hope to break the skid against the Jaguars after being held to zero points in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers.
