Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans: Friday Fact or Fiction
By Daniel Lago
After an enormous week 1 win, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a chance to take an early stranglehold over the AFC South if they defeat the Tennessee Titans.
The Jacksonville Jaguars put up a damn impressive performance in week 1 as they thoroughly dismantled the Houston Texans en route to a dominant 29-7 win.

The game was even more lopsided than the score indicates – the Jaguars missed a field goal and an extra point and the lone Houston scoring drive came as a result of some hogwash penalties on key third downs.
The question coming out of week 1, for me at least, is this – are the Jacksonville Jaguars that good, or are the Houston Texans that bad?
We’ll get some indicators this week on the Jaguars (I’m still convinced the Texans are just awful after their numbing win last night in Cincinnati) as they square off against a healthy Tennessee Titans team.
This matchup will be a legitimate test for the Jaguars for two big reasons:
- The Titans have a functional and dangerous quarterback in Marcus Mariota.
- The Titans have a solid offensive line and a good running game.
Manhandling the Texans and their shameful offense is one thing, but doing that against the Mariota and the big guys protecting him is a different challenge.
