JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jaguars have their backs up against the wall in the uphill fight to make the playoffs. As long as their loss total hovers in the five-to-seven, expect to hear this every week.
Trevor and Co. balled last week against the Patriots at Wembley Stadium, one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Packers, a definite playoff team, are 5-2, and playing in the hardest division in football. Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs and Jaylen Reed form the core of a burgeoning offensive unit. They have one of the best pass rushing units in the league, facing arguably one of the worst offensive lines in the league.
But could the Packers have their eyes on the NFL-best Detroit Lions next week? (Never thought I'd type that sentence).
The Jaguars play the Eagles, Lions, Vikings and Texans next. This five game stretch will really show us who and what this team is. It's the Titans-Jets-Raiders-Colts-Titans after that, but with the Jags it's never easy street.
The following players are listed as questionable otherwise noted:
RB Travis Etienne Jr. OUT
DT Maason Smith OUT
DT Esezi Otomewo
OL Cam Robinson
LB Foye Oluokun
S Andrew Wingard OUT
Kickoff is at 1 p.m.
